@users: see forwarded email below...
Hi Paul
I've forwarded this one to the jclouds users mailing list [1], as it's
more of a usage question. Have you had a look at the jclouds-examples
[2]? Some of the ones in there might be able to help you further.
By the way, if you direct future emails to "[email protected]" or
"[email protected]" (after signing up to those mailing lists),
we can hopefully get the rest of the jclouds community to help out ;-)
Regards
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
Terrific, thanks.
I will sign up for the jclouds list and pursue matters there.
While I have your attention, does jclouds allow me to upload an OS
binary, e.g., Centos? Following one of the jclouds examples, I had no
difficulty in creating a "bucket" at S3. But I am confused as how to
use jclouds to actually create & populate a barren compute node.
Ultimately, I'd like to use either Whirr or jclouds to create a bunch
of VMware VMs each "automatically" configured with Centos and MongoDB.
This all began when I wanted to do this with Whirr at AWS. But for
several reasons, one of which was that Whirr doesn't offer MongoDB as
a service, I began to look at jclouds and VCD.
Thank you.
Cordially,
Paul
