Hi, One of the main objectives we have at Nodejitsu is that developers should not change their code according to different OSs / or cloud providers. We can run on Rackspace, Joyent, aws, etc. We believe our users will stay for our better software and support —not because they are "locked in".
To make this possible we have been working on a module called `pkgcloud` for the past year or so. Today, we decided to open source this module. This reinforces our commitment to open-source, and to every one of you as nodejs developers. * http://blog.nodejitsu.com/introducing-pkgcloud `pkgcloud` is a hassle free way to talk to all these providers (plus azure) using the same apis, so migrating from amazon to joyent is as simple as replacing a json property in your code! `pkgcloud` doesnt depend on the sdks from specific providers, and instead has a subset of what those sdks provide implemented with mikeal/request. This way you know that you are not using something that "only works on amazon". The tests that are run are also the same across different providers, which is designed to keep us honest. I leave you all with an idea: With `pkgcloud` you can create a cli that works for all cloud providers the same. That is pretty cool, especially considering the state of most of the sdks out there. Hope you guys enjoy it, feedback is welcome.
