| <br><h3>About Deltacloud</h3> |
| <br><p>Deltacloud provides the API server and drivers necessary for connecting to cloud providers.</p> |
| |
| <p>Deltacloud maintains <strong>long-term stability</strong> for scripts, tools and applications and <strong>backward compatibility</strong> across different versions.</p> |
| |
| <p>Using single API Deltacloud enables management of resources in different clouds.</p> |
| |
| <p>Start an instance on an internal cloud, then with the same code start another on EC2 or RHEV-M.</p> |

| <br><br><h3>How does Deltacloud work?</h3> |
| <br><p>Deltacloud contains a cloud abstraction API. The API works as a wrapper around a large number of clouds, abstracting their differences. For every <a href="supported-providers.html" rel="tooltip" title="currently supported providers">provider</a> there is a driver "speaking" cloud provider's native API. It frees you from dealing with the particulars of each cloud's API.</p> |
| |
| <p>Install Deltacloud and start the <strong>deltacloudd</strong> daemon server. You can use your favourite HTTP client to talk to the server using the <a href="rest-api.html">Deltacloud REST API</a>. Deltacloud even comes with a HTML interface so you can simply use your web browser to control your cloud infrastructure straight out of the box. The HTML interface is written with the <a href="http://jquerymobile.com/">jQuery mobile</a> framework, so it is compatible with your mobile or tablet devices.</p> |
