DeltaCloud = (Redhat{ ec2+RHEV-M+vmWare+… …)
Red Hat earlier this past week announced their new DeltaCloud Interoperability API Framework.
Many for the longest time thought Red Hat was going to be content sitting on the periphery of the cloud without taking a dive. The surgance of the DeltaCloud API framework solidifies Red Hat’s goal of building up developers with tools, scripts, and applications which can work together across the clouds – both public and private.

What I absolutely love however – is that Red Hat has released this as OPEN SOURCE using Ruby as the agent to drive the api onto clouds like EC2 as well as private offerings like VMWare and KVM (which comes as default now in RedHat and other Linux kernels).
RedHat was also the team behind Libvirt – a toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes) – also Open Source.
While the initiation of a new open source project within Red Hat is certainly not news something of this caliber is great news for the entire Cloud community. DeltaCloud Demo
Deltacloud gives you:
- REST API (simple, any-platform access)
- Support for EC2, RHEV-M; VMWare ESX, RackSpace coming soon

- Backward compatibility across versions, providing long-term stability for scripts, tools and applications
