+through a unified and easy to use API.

+
+* Cloud Servers - services such as Amazon EC2 and Rackspace CloudServers
+  (libcloud.compute.*)
+* Cloud Storage - services such as Amazon S3 and Rackspace CloudFiles
+  (libcloud.storage.*)
+* Load Balancers as a Service, LBaaS (libcloud.loadbalancer.*)
+* DNS as a Service, DNSaaS (libcloud.dns.*)
 
 Apache libcloud is an Apache project, see <http://libcloud.apache.org> for
 more information.
