Are there any portable Cloud APIs that allow you to easily change cloud hosts?
- by MindJuice
I am creating a web-based RESTful service and want to cloud-enable it for scalability.
I don't want to get locked into one cloud provider though. I'd like to be able to switched between Go Grid or Amazon EC2, etc. as pricing and needs evolve.
Is there a common API to control the launch, monitoring and shutdown of cloud resources?
I've seen Right Scale, but their pricing is just from another planet.
Similarly, is there a common API for cloud storage?
