“Apache Libcloud v3.1”, Python Library for Managing Cloud Infrastructure, Released

June 15, development team of “Apache Libcloud”, a Python library for managing multiple clouds, released the latest stable version “Apache Libcloud v3.1.0”.

Apache Libcloud is a Python library that absorbs differences between different cloud provider APIs. This allows you to manage different cloud resources such as servers, storage, load balancers, DNS, and Container-as-a-Service. Apache Libcloud can be used with over 30 providers, such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, OpenStack, and Cloudflare.

In regards to compute, deploy_node() has been fixed. A new timeout argument has been added to ScriptDeployment and ScriptFileDeployment to specify an optional run timeout. For Google Compute Engine (GCE), Ubuntu 20.04 image families are added to the driver.

In regards to storage, Amazon S3 is improved. As to DNS, CloudFlare driver has been updated. It now supports managing CAA record types.

Contrib/Dockerfile has been updated so that it only runs tests with Python, which Apache Libcloud supports. This release also includes bug fixes.
