Allow uploading an entire directory using prepareRemoteFileUrl
--------------------------------------------------------------
Key: WHIRR-353
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIRR-353
Project: Whirr
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: core
Affects Versions: 0.6.0
Reporter: Karel Vervaeke
Currently, prepareRemoteFileUrl allows you to upload a single file.
It would be nice if you could give it a local directory (user-provided,
containing configuration files for example), and have that directory
automatically uploaded to each instance.
For implementation, I would suggest creating a tarball, uploading it like we
already do for single files, and add a statement to untar the tarball to a temp
dir.
The name of the method wouldn't be entirely representative anymore, but I don't
have any suggestions at the moment.
Related idea (but way out of scope for this issue): A bittorrent-backed
blobstore provider would be very cool. See
