Hi Anthony, Good to see you around! :)
Having a container abstraction sounds very interesting, indeed. Currently we only have support for the Docker API, and that would be the only implementation in jclouds ad the moment, but having the CaaS abstraction would help other implementations take shape faster. Things in jclouds move a bit slower than in libcloud, but I'll have a look at the libcloud interface, and let's use this discussion to model a similar interface for jclouds. Feel free to share your thoughts here too! Look forward to have more cross-project discussions like this one. Thanks for starting this thread! I.
