Last week the OpenNebula project launched a survey to collect feedback from their community regarding what is their preferred interface for cloud consumers and how they should invest their resources in cloud API enhancement and development. The survey was open for two days receiving feedback from almost 200 OpenNebula clouds.
Targeted to OpenNebula cloud administrators, its aim was firstly to have information about the level of use of the two cloud APIs offered now by OpenNebula, namely AWS and OGF OCCI. The results show that:
38% do not expose cloud APIs, their users only interface through the Sunstone GUI
36% mostly use the AWS API
26% mostly use the OpenNebula’s OCCI API or the OCCI API offered by rOCCI
