jclouds is an open source library that helps you get started in the cloud and utilizes your Java or Clojure development skills. The jclouds API gives you the freedom to use portable abstractions or cloud-specific features. jclouds tests support of 30 cloud providers and cloud software stacks including Amazon, GoGrid, Ninefold, vCloud, OpenStack, and Azure.
jclouds offers several API abstractions as Java and Clojure libraries. The most mature of these are BlobStore and ComputeService. jclouds 1.5 is the result of 3.5 years of development by more than 60 developers interested in portable cloud computing. During this session, you’ll get up-to-date with cloud computing technology developments such as OpenStack. You’ll learn how to use jclouds 1.5 to control private and public infrastructures and storage clouds programmatically. You’ll also see examples of new tools powered by jclouds, including Jenkins and Brooklyn.
