Morning all, Keeping with the one API per provider theme, Oracle have just released a[nother] SOAPy RPC-style API for infrastructure management: Announcing Oracle VM 2.1.5<http://blogs.oracle.com/virtualization/2009/06/announcing_oracle_vm_215.html> Web Services API Docs<http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11081_01/doc/doc.21/e10901/wsapi.htm> It's anybody's guess what those guys are up to, having just taken VirtualIron out the back to shoot it while at the same time acquiring Sun with all its cloud API goodness... oh well at least they're not just selling boxes running VMware :P Sam
