David Bosschaert commented on JCLOUDS-483:
------------------------------------------

Yes, it would be great to have a proper Load Balancer abstraction as part of JClouds. I would be interested in AWS and OpenStack abstractions, and possibly other providers too.

> The current Load Balancer abstraction is in beta, and provides very little functionality. It is hard to create a load balancer that is actually useful if one uses only the portable abstraction.
> It would be great to take it to the next level and refactor it and add all missing features. Currently there are only two providers that implement it: Amazon ELB and Rackspace Cloud Load Balancers. Taking the features they expose as a reference to build a proper abstraction can help improving and making really useful so it can be used in the real world.
