Presentation: Tweet"Designing and consuming a Cloud 2.0 API"
As the leading cloud ecosystem integration library on the JVM, jclouds has daily practical experience of dealing with cloud APIs for over three years now. Watching over 40 APIs covering PaaS, IaaS, SaaS, social networking and more as they develop, integrating them coherently and trying to provide advanced functionality, such as location metadata, not currently available from the vendor APIs has given jclouds a unique perspective on what it takes to design a "high-flying" cloud API. From "intrinsic" features such as formats, layout, functionality and metadata to delivery considerations such a discoverability, bandwidth, performance and version management, we'll share experiences, lessons and recommendations that will hopefully help you both *design* and *consume* cloud APIs more easily.
