libcloud-poc
The primary objective for this repository is to evaluate the use of apache libcloud to perform requests in various providers. Most cloud providers provide some way to interface with it (RESTful API, SDK, command line interface). When working on a project that requires the use of multiple providers, this grows your projects dependencies with each cloud provider libraries. By installing apache libcloud, it installs itself and only a couple packages it depends on. While providing a huge list of providers to interface with. Having apache libcloud installed in your project would decrease the need for many packages by replacing it with one.
The end goal is to compare how it is using apache libcloud to perform the same type of requests using a providers SDK libraries. If it is transparent, it should allow you to easily switch to using apache libcloud within your project.
repository structure
Within this repository you will find a python package named src/providers. This package holds modules for all different providers (authentication and SDK classes) These classes are to provide a simple way to perform various requests in that given provider. There is also an examples folder which contains example input files to perform some interactions with the provider of its choice.
environment setup
To use these modules, you will want to create a Python virtual environment and install the packages defined in requirements.txt.
