An inplace restore is where you recover to the same target and an out-of-place restore is where you +recover to another target.</li> +<li><code>libcloud.backup.base.BackupTargetJob</code> - Represents a backup job running on backup target.</li> +</ul> + +<h2>Introducing Container-as-a-Service Drivers</h2> + +<p>The API is for Container-as-a-Service providers, these new types of cloud services offer container management and hosting as a service. +The new services are already providing proprietary APIs, giving the need for a tool like Libcloud if you want to provision to any cloud provider.</p> + +<p>Google, Amazon and Joyent have all announced Container cloud services and Microsoft have launched a beta service also, so we are getting on the front foot with an +abstraction API for people wishing to gain similar benefits to the compute, load balancer and storage APIs.</p> + +<p>A presentation on this topic <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/AnthonyShaw5/introducing-container-asaservice-support-to-apache-libcloud";>presentation</a> is available on SlideShare.</p> + +<p><strong>Isn't docker a standard?</strong> +Well, yes and no.</p> + +<p>Docker has been the main technology adopted by these providers as the host system for the containers and also as the specification of the containers themselves. +But, Docker is not a provisioning system, it is a virtualization host. Also there are alternatives, like CoreOS Rkt. </p> + +<h3>Container API design</h3> + +<p>Container-as-a-Service providers will implement the <code>ContainerDriver</code> class to provide functionality for :</p> + +<ul> +<li>Listing deployed containers</li> +<li>Starting, stopping and restarting containers (where supported)</li> +<li>Destroying containers</li> +<li>Creating/deploying containers</li> +<li>Listing container images</li> +<li>Installing container images (pulling an image from a local copy or remote repository)</li> +</ul> + +<h3>Simple Container Support</h3> + +<ul> +<li><code>libcloud.container.base.ContainerImage</code> - Represents an image that can be deployed, like an application or an operating system</li> +<li><code>libcloud.container.base.Container</code> - Represents a deployed container image running on a container host</li> +</ul> + +<h3>Cluster Suppport</h3> + +<p>Cluster support extends on the basic driver functions, but where drivers implement the class-level attribute <code>supports_clusters</code> as True +clusters may be listed, created and destroyed. When containers are deployed, the target cluster can be specified.</p> + +<ul> +<li><code>libcloud.container.base.ContainerCluster</code> - Represents a deployed container image running on a container host</li> +<li><code>libcloud.container.base.ClusterLocation</code> - Represents a location for clusters to be deployed</li> +</ul> + +<h3>Using the container drivers</h3> + +<p>The container drivers have been designed around similar principles to the compute driver.
