Apache libcloud - a unified interface into the cloud The goal of this project is to create a basic yet functional standard library into various cloud providers. Apache libcloud is an incubator project at the Apache Software Foundation, see for more information. For API documentation and examples, see: WARNING: Python's built-in SSL does not do certificate validation. As such, one cannot be sure of the other end of the conversation with any sufficient authority. If you are in a position to be exploited (i.e., on an untrusted network), be cautious with SSL connections. This is an issue with upstream Python (see http://bugs.python.org/issue1589 for details) and not with libcloud.
