Delta Cloud Overview

As a part of cloud compatability poc , i did a POC on delta cloud.

 
Delta-cloud is an API was initiated and developed by Red Hat and is now a project hosted at the Apache Software Foundation that abstracts differences between clouds.
The DeltaCloud API provides a single API interface and drivers to work with multiple IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) cloud computing providers.

Apache Delta-cloud currently supports many back-end cloud providers.

The back-end drivers communicating with each cloud provider's native API and the Delta-cloud Core Framework provides the basis for implementing drivers to new IaaS clouds.

Deltacloud API supports the following providers:

  • Amazon EC2
  • GoGrid
  • OpenNebula
  • Rackspace
  • RHEV-M (Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization - Manager)
  • RimuHosting.


For Overview?
  • Is an open source Apache project
  • Is a REST-based API for simple any-platform and any-cloud access.
  • Is written in Ruby
  • Comes with client libraries for our favorite programming language


What does Delta-cloud give you?
  • An opportunity to manage cloud instances the way you want
  • A way to protect our apps from cloud API changes and incompatibilities
  • Three front-ends: 'classic' Delta-cloud, DMTF (Distributed Management Task Force) CIMI (Cloud Infrastructure Management Interface), and EC2
  • support for all major cloud service providers
  • makes it easy for cloud providers to add their cloud
