FAQ

||||
|
||||
What's wrong with libcloud?
|
||||
|
||||
Nothing! However, as a cross-service binding it's by definition lowest
|
||||
common denominator; I needed access to the Rackspace-specific APIs (shared
|
||||
IP groups, image snapshots, resizing, etc.). I also wanted a command-line
|
||||
utility.
