To reiterate the importance of Sang-Min's question, I think we should consider
documenting these functions (found in base_driver.rb), indicating which ones
are considered "core" and which may be optionally implemented:
# def realms(credentials, opts=nil)
#
# def images(credentials, ops)
#
# def instances(credentials, ops)
# def create_instance(credentials, image_id, opts)
# def start_instance(credentials, id)
# def stop_instance(credentials, id)
# def reboot_instance(credentials, id)
#
# def storage_volumes(credentials, ops)
#
# def storage_snapshots(credentials, ops)
#
# def buckets(credentials, opts = nil)
# def create_bucket(credentials, name, opts=nil)
# def delete_bucket(credentials, name, opts=nil)
#
# def blobs(credentials, opts = nil)
# def blob_data(credentials, bucket_id, blob_id, opts)
# def create_blob(credentials, bucket_id, blob_id, blob_data, opts=nil)
# def delete_blob(credentials, bucket_id, blob_id, opts=nil)
#
# def keys(credentials, opts)
# def create_key(credentials, opts)
# def destroy_key(credentials, opts)
When I saw the EC2 driver's extensive functionality, I asked the same question
and found this list to be comprehensive of Deltacloud's "build-in" support.
Hope this helps,
