Apache jclouds Meetup, 7/8/2013
What is Apache jclouds?
Java library for abstracting and interacting more directly with
a plethora of compute, blobstore (i.e., S3 or Swift) and other
cloud-related APIs and providers.
High-level abstractions allow you to use the same code to work
with different APIs/providers.
Java interfaces directly to the various APIs let you drill down
and get more specific control.
We're at Apache now!
