EJUG Meeting Wednesday September 17, 2014 at 4:30pm (NOT Noon!): Introduction to Apache jclouds
Basil Vandegriend
EJUG is meeting from 4:30pm (not noon!) to 5:30pm on Wednesday, September 17th in the Canadian boardroom in the basement of the Canadian Western Bank building, located at 10303 Jasper Ave.
Apache jclouds is an open source multi-cloud toolkit for the
Java platform that gives you the freedom to create applications that are
portable across clouds while giving you full control to use cloud-specific
features.
There is a great community behind this toolkit working together to provide a better experience for developers in the cloud. Our goal is to enable developers to build applications that work across many clouds. The result is cloud applications that are built in a shorter period of time and more portable.
Learn about how developers are using jclouds in their
applications and what jclouds can do for you.

the Rackspace Cloud easy to use for developers and operators. Sometimes
developer, sometimes advocate, and sometimes operator. I'm a committer and PMC
