CloudBridge

CloudBridge is a Python library for interfacing with multiple cloud providers through a single API. Implementations for AWS and OpenStack exist while GCE and Azure are coming. The following will help make the library more robust and usable.

• Introduce a collections/filtering mechanism for CloudBridge: https://github.com/gvlproject/cloudbridge/issues/91
• Wrap provider-specific exceptions into CloudBridge-specific ones: https://github.com/gvlproject/cloudbridge/issues/84
• Add auto-inherit docstrings to provider implementations: https://github.com/gvlproject/cloudbridge/issues/81
• Add logging calls to all the methods: https://github.com/gvlproject/cloudbridge/issues/85
• Add method to import a key pair and expose the public one: https://github.com/gvlproject/cloudbridge/issues/49
• Implement refresh method for all resources and make security group resource updateable: https://github.com/gvlproject/cloudbridge/issues/70
• Replace the current OpenStack implementation that uses multiple libraries with the OpenStackSDK: https://github.com/gvlproject/cloudbridge/issues/79
