Libcloud is a Python library that abstracts away the differences among multiple cloud provider APIs. It allows users to manage cloud services (servers, storage, load balancers, DNS) offered by many different providers through a single, unified and easy to use API.
We are pleased to announce a long awaited Libcloud 0.14.0 release. This is a first release in the 0.14 series which means it brings many (and I mean many!) new features, changes and improvements. Release highlights: - To make working with providers which support multiple regions easier and more user-friendly, some of the drivers have moved away from the "one class per region" to a single class plus "region" argument model. Those drivers include: EC2, Rackspace, ElasticHosts, Joyent, CloudFiles. - Addition of a programmatic way of updating the pricing file and ability to use a custom pricing file. For more information, please see https://libcloud.readthedocs.org/en/latest/compute/pricing.html#using-a-custom-pricing-file - Addition of block storage management methods to the following drivers: OpenNebula, OpenStack, EC2 - Unification of the extension arguments for handling security groups in the EC2 and OpenStack driver - New standard compute API for SSH key-pair management - Many new features and improvements in the CloudStack driver - New compute and load balancer driver for Google Compute Engine (GCE) - Ability to export Libcloud's DNS zone to BIND zone format - and much more! Some of the changes noted above are backward incompatible.
