It's really nice to see that boto (python AWS library) supports S3 and Google Storage side-by-side. Being able to pick and choose providers behind the same API is how the cloud should be.
- spullara 15y agoIt probably wouldn't have worked out that way if Google didnt clone S3's API.
- weavejester 15y agoTo be fair to Google, most of the S3 REST API is pretty obvious. Even if you'd never seen S3, you'd likely come up with an API that was 80% similar.

- weavejester 15y agoWhat do you mean? I haven't looked into Openstack in great deal, but my impression of the storage API was that it was very similar to S3, aside from how it handles authentication.
- joeyh 15y agoCloned but with some required new fields like "x-goog-api-version", so existing S3 libraries won't quite work without modification, it seems.
