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 v3.8.0. This release includes new features, improvements, and bug fixes. Highlights include: - Performance improvements in the storage drivers - Removal of 18 drivers for providers that are no longer active (they went out of business, have been acquired, or similar). A list of all the changes can be found at <https://libcloud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog.html#changes-in-apache-libcloud-3.8.0>. Development-Related Changes (developers only) In addition to the end-user visible changes, we have made various changes to our development process and practices to better follow and align with modern Python development and packaging best practices. - Tooling (pylint, mypy, bandit, isort, black, etc.) config options have been migrated into pyproject.yaml file. - Package setup and build-related metadata have been migrated from setup.py and setup.cfg to pyproject.toml. - The unsafe "setup.py test" wrapper command has been removed in favor of invoking pytest directly. - The "build" PyPi package is now used for creating release artifacts (sdist, wheel) in an isolated virtual environment.
