<p>Apache Whirr is a set of libraries for running cloud services.</p>
<p>Whirr provides:</p>
<ul>
<li>A cloud-neutral way to run services. You don't have to worry about the idiosyncrasies of
each provider.</li>
<li>A common service API. The details of provisioning are particular to the service.</li>
<li>Smart defaults for services. You can get a properly configured system running quickly,
while still being able to override settings as needed.</li>
</ul>
<p>You can also use Whirr as a command line tool for deploying clusters.</p>
