At least for what I'm interested in is an API that is common across providers with different language bindings. Your comment about DeltaCloud as an API seems to make it more general purpose and have a broader applicability for different language bindings. At this point it is pretty similar to Libcloud in that it too has a set of drivers for different cloud vendors but it is a RESTful API on the front end which makes it different than Libcloud in that someone can create a number of language bindings independently. One of my peeps had suggested a Libcloud driver for DeltaCloud but that just seems wrong on a few levels as we'd then have two compensation layers (Libcloud's driver and DeltaCloud's driver and then finally the target cloud provider).
It would be nice to wrap the two projects together and get the best of both worlds. Language bindings to a common API. Perhaps RedHat has some implementation of the DeltaCloud APIs that would be a direct implementer and not a compensation layer.
