Apache Libcloud is a Python library which hides differences between different cloud provider APIs and allows you to manage different cloud resources through a unified and easy to use API.

• - services such as Amazon S3 and Rackspace CloudFiles
• Load Balancers as a Service - services such as Amazon Elastic Load Balancer and GoGrid LoadBalancers
• - services such as Amazon Route 53 and Zerigo
• Container Services - container virtualization like Docker and Rkt as well as container based services
• - services such as Amazon EBS and OpenStack Freezer
