The document presents a presentation by Adrian Cole on cloud storage, focusing on jclouds, which enables portable blob storage APIs across various cloud providers. It discusses key concepts, code examples, and tools used for managing cloud storage and instances, emphasizing modularity and compatibility among different cloud services. Additionally, it addresses the importance of handling complexity and concurrency in cloud applications.

20. open source
feels like java (and clojure)
portability between clouds
deal with web complexity
unit testability
thread-safe and scalable

Tuesday, November 1, 11

21. Portable APIs
BlobStore LoadBalancer
Compute Table
Provider-Specific Hooks
Embeddable
Over 30 Tested Providers!

22. jclouds locations
Location helps
normalize placement
across resource types
All top-level resources listAssignableLocations
have a location US
Location metadata is SG
IE
extensible

23. jclouds modularity
jclouds-blobstore
APIs are software focused s3
Providers are offering aws-s3
scality-ring walrus
focused googlestorage
scaleup-storage
API + location + defaults =

26. java overview github jclouds/jclouds
// init
context = new BlobStoreContextFactory().createContext("s3",
accesskeyid,
secret);
blobStore = context.getBlobStore();
// create container
blobStore.createContainerInLocation(null, “adriansmovies”);
// add blob
blob = blobStore.blobBuilder("sushi.avi").payload(file).build();
blobStore.putBlob(“adriansmovies”, blob);
