this past week redhat announced delta cloud. it is supposed to be a single api that connects to multiple clouds. the idea has good intentions, but i wonder if it will become like drmaa. drmaa was supposed to be a single api for grid engines, but never really took off, because each grid engine had its own idiosyncracies, and being a single api, drmaa needed to be the lowest common denominator of all of them, and thus was not very useful. besides, who really used multiple grid engines anyway?
only time will tell what will happen to the delta cloud.
