Hi all,

I've started a project at my company on my spare time to automate builds in our 
vCloud provider. I started using libcloud for this but I finding the library to 
be quite limited. My biggest problem with the vCloud driver is that it seems to 
be wholly oriented to manage and orchestrate vApps when I would like it to do 
the same for VMs instead and use the vApps just a containers for the virtual 
machines. For example, I have a vApp with 10 virtual machines. There is no 
function in libcloud that would allow me to power off on of the VMs; I would 
have to power off the whole vApp.

I know some people ignore the vApps model completely and make it one vapp 
equals one vm but this just doesn't work for me.

I've initially started creating my own module extending VCloud_1_5_NodeDriver 
but I'm wondering if the changes I'm making could be of interest to the 
project. I don't have much time and my own needs will take precedence into any 
work I can contribute but I'm happy to do so.

Thank you
Sergio Rua
