The APIs will remain constant - that's sort of the whole point.
Different providers will be free to provide their own UI that will use
those APIs to get the information the user wants. We already have several
people who have submitted web interfaces that use the 1.0 version of the API;
it will be up to each provider to provide their own UI, or use one of the
freely available ones.
There is also a command-line utility for nova (OpenStack compute)
