Libcloud is a Python library that abstracts away the differences among multiple cloud provider APIs. It allows users to manage cloud services (servers, storage, load balancers, DNS, containers as a service) offered by many different providers through a single, unified and easy to use API.
We are happy to announce Libcloud v2.7.0 which includes various new features. Highlights include: * Initial type annotations / hints support for the base Libcloud compute API. * S3 driver class has been updated to support region argument in the same manner as other drivers which support multiple regions. * New start_node() and stop_node() method have been added to the base Libcloud compute API and the existing drivers which implement ex_start_node() and ex_stop_node() methods have been updated to implement those new methods.
