Mahendra,
Unfortunately we've been a bit side tracked lately on another project.
I imagine the connection wrapper you're writing for azure service bus can
be pushed to common and used for compute. We will wait until you merge the
service bus and sqs code and then we may be able to help with some of the
compute stuff. I haven't dug in enough but I'm specifically interested to
see if azure supports file injection. According to open stack
it's supported in hyper-v so there should be a way to do it.
Do you know if there are any plans on adding general base functionality
in libcloud for supporting true deployment without ssh? Most open stack &
eucalyptus providers now support this with user-data or server personality.
I'm hoping it becomes mainstream. The only current issue is rackspace
doesn't have cloud-init in their base image. You have to create your own
image. Hopefully more providers will start supporting this metadata service
as it makes bootstrapping anything a breeze.
