pkgcloud documentation

pkgcloud is a multi-provider cloud provisioning library for node.js that abstracts away differences among multiple cloud providers.

Unified Vocabulary

Due to the differences between the vocabulary for each service provider, pkgcloud uses its own unified vocabulary.

Note: Unified vocabularies may not yet be defined for beta services.

Supported Providers

Supporting every API for every cloud service provider in Node.js is a huge undertaking, but that is the long-term goal of pkgcloud. Special attention has been made to ensure that each service type has enough providers for a critical mass of portability between providers (i.e. Each service implemented has multiple providers).

If a service does not have at least two providers, it is considered a beta interface; We reserve the right to improve the API as multiple providers will allow generalization to be better determined.
