Libcloud is a Python library that abstracts away the differences among
multiple cloud provider APIs. It allows users to manage cloud services
(servers, storage, load balancers, DNS) offered by many different providers
through a single, unified and easy to use API.
We are pleased to announce the release of Libcloud 0.12.1!
This release includes many new features, improvements and bug-fixes.
Release highlights:
- New more efficient generator based approach for iterating over paginated
collections.
- New generator based method for iterating over containers
(iterate_containers).
- Old ENUM style provided constants have been replaced with a string
version.
This allows users to dynamically register new providers using new
set_driver
method.
- Support for multipart uploads in the Amazon S3 storage driver.
- New load balancer driver for Amazon Load Balancing (ELB) service.
- New storage driver for Azure Blog storage
- New "local storage" storage driver
- Support for multipart uploads in the S3 driver
- Allow user to specify which CA cert is used for verifying server SSL
certificate by setting "SSL_CERT_FILE" environment variable
- Drivers which use xmlrplic library now use Libcloud HTTP layer for making
HTTP requests. This means those drivers now support LIBCLOUD_DEBUG and SSL
cert validation functionality
