IaaS has its own non-standard `API`_ , `libcloud` provides a Python
wrapper on top of this `API`_ with common methods with other IaaS solutions and
Public cloud providers. Therefore, you can use use the Indosat libcloud
driver to communicate with both the public and private clouds.

Instantiating a driver

   :language: python

The base `libcloud` API allows you to:

* list nodes, images, instance types, locations

Non-standard functionality and extension methods
------------------------------------------------

The Indosat driver exposes some `libcloud` non-standard
functionalities through extension methods and arguments.

These functionalities include:

For information on how to use these functionalities please see the method
