[libcloud] Storage Support

[Adrián <ad...@gmail.com>]

Hi folks,

it's my first post on the list, so first of all wanna thak you for the
effort you've made with libcloud. I've been browsing libcloud source to see
if it fits for a project I have in mind, and I've not seen any kind of
support for services as S3, EBS or other cloud storage systems. Is this true
or am I blind? if it's true and Im not blind, are you guys thinking of
adding support for that in the near future?

Thanks in advance
Adrián

I think adding storage support to libCloud is a great idea.  In fact, there
is an existing API we should look at and consider using: SimpleCloud -
http://www.simplecloud.org/.  Right now, SimpleCloud is implemented in PHP
but we could use the API here.  Here's a brief version of the storage API
from SimpleCloud, in PHP:

public function fetchItem($path, $options = null);
public function storeItem($destinationPath,$data,$options = null);
public function deleteItem($path, $options = null);
public function copyItem($sourcePath, $destinationPath, $options = null);
public function moveItem($sourcePath, $destinationPath, $options = null);
public function renameItem($path, $name, $options = null);
public function listItems($path, $options = null);
public function fetchMetadata($path, $options = null);
public function storeMetadata($destinationPath, $metadata, $options = null);
public function deleteMetadata($path);
public function getAdapter();

I believe Jeremy was starting to hack on adding EBS support, and i
think its something we need to do.  (Along with a few more things like
elastic ips).

Regarding S3/Cloudfiles aka block storage over http, we have had some
ideas about doing it -- I've played with it on a local branch a few
times, but I've not had time to finish it into something usable.

Would love patches both areas :)
