Apache Libcloud (http://libcloud.apache.org) is an open-source Python client library for interacting with different cloud providers through a unified and easy to use API.
This talk will address the following topics:
* Why a library like this was built in the first place (history & motivation)* What we have learned while building it (not all the providers always play nice)* A short introduction to the library APIs (compute, storage, load-balancer and DNS)* Examples* How to participate and contribute* Roadmap and plans for the future* Questions
Target audience for this talk are developers who want to run or manage their infrastructure and code on multiple cloud providers and / or avoid vendor lock-in.
