-------------------------------------
Summary: Support scaling APIs
Key: LIBCLOUD-444
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD-444
Project: Libcloud
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Core
Reporter: Brian Curtin
I propose to kick off a new package in the libcloud namespace, e.g.,
libcloud.scaling, to support the various automatic scaling APIs that some
providers are offering.
* Amazon has had Auto Scaling available for some time now.
* Rackspace released its Autoscale product to general availability today.
* Azure supports Autoscale via its Management API.
* I've found some Google documentation around autoscaling, but it seems more
tied to AppEngine than GCE, so maybe not applicable here.
At least Amazon and Rackspace's offerings are built on or make use of their
CloudWatch and Cloud Monitoring products, respectively, so we'd probably want
to create a package, e.g., libcloud.monitoring, as well. Azure
I have to imagine the first step is getting to understand the various APIs and
boiling down a common set of goals and functionality. Before going down that
path, is there anything I should know?
