I believe CloudStack is used by quite a number of smaller public clouds such as exoscale and datapipe. The reason I am going to use CloudStack is because a company who has a CloudStack cloud (PCextreme) donated some of their computing resources to my FOSS project MolView (http://molview.org, I'm basically trying to make chemistry and biology education more awesome). I started using Go a few months ago for another project so I'm already familiar with some aspects. A non-official CloudStack client is available for Go (https://github.com/xanzy/go-cloudstack) although it's not extremely well documented. I would definitely want to give it a try but I first have to get the juju code working on openSUSE (or start developing in an Ubuntu VM). I already started a different thread for this.
