Apache Deltacloud has been retired.

Deltacloud is an application programming interface (API) developed by Red Hat and the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) that provides aggregated access to multiple cloud computing platforms in a single web service. It abstracts differences between cloud computing implementations. =

Deltacloud maintains long-term stability for scripts, tools and applications and backward compatibility across different versions.

Deltacloud enables management of resources in different clouds by the use of one of three supported APIs. The supported APIs are the Deltacloud classic API, the DMTF CIMI API or even the EC2 API.

Deltacloud is written with Ruby and ships with client libraries for various programming languages. Deltacloud is a top-level project at the ASF.

Features include:

• REST-based API for simple any-platform access.
• Protect your apps from cloud API changes and incompatibilities.
• 3 frontends: ‘classic’ Deltacloud, DMTF CIMI, and EC2.
• Support for all major cloud service providers.
• Easy for cloud providers to add their cloud.
• Use your RHEV-M and vSphere installations as a cloud.
