Apache Libcloud Graduates as a Top-Level Project

The Apache Software Foundation announced that Apache Libcloud has graduated from the Apache Incubator as a Top-Level Project (TLP).

Apache Libcloud is an Open Source library that provides a vendor-neutral interface to cloud provider APIs written in Python and Java. With one simple API, operations teams can write once and deploy anywhere, avoiding vendor lock-in.

The current Python version of Apache Libcloud includes backend drivers for more than twenty leading providers including Amazon EC2, Rackspace Cloud, GoGrid and Linode.

The Java version supports Amazon EC2, Eucalyptus, IBM Cloud and Rackspace.

Libcloud was originally started by the Cloudkick team, but has since grown into an independent free software project and now is a TLP.
