[dev] [jira] [Created] (LIBCLOUD-231) Fujitsu Global Cloud Platform
(FGCP) Compute Driver
Michel Dalle created LIBCLOUD-231:
-------------------------------------
Summary: Fujitsu Global Cloud Platform (FGCP) Compute Driver
Key: LIBCLOUD-231
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD-231
Project: Libcloud
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Compute
Reporter: Michel Dalle
Add a compute driver for the Fujitsu Global Cloud Platform (FGCP).
Python client API library is already available:
see http://code.google.com/p/fgcp-client-api/
Potential implementation issues:
- use of client certificate for authentication - is this already supported in other drivers ?
- mapping of FGCP concepts to libcloud concepts - see e.g. deltacloud & jclouds

[dev] [jira] [Commented] (LIBCLOUD-231) Fujitsu Global Cloud Platform

Tomaz Muraus commented on LIBCLOUD-231:
---------------------------------------
In Libcloud, we don't use existing client libraries, but we build all the provider functionality in the driver. There are multiple reasons for that:
- Making sure it works with all the supported versions - we support 2.5, 2.6, 2.7 / PyPy and 3.x. Pretty much none of the existing provider libraries supports 3.x.
- Keeping the quality high - most of the existing client libraries don't have a lot of tests so it's hard to ensure high quality.
As far as the client certificate authentication goes, it looks like it should be relatively easy to do it using httplib.HTTPSConnection. It will require some minor changes to the code in Libcloud where the httplib.HTTPSConnection class is instantiated. Ideally you will add some kind of a hook which will allow drivers to specify extra arguments which are passed to the HTTPSConnection constructor.
