Adding new providers

The easiest way to make a difference is to “test” a new provider so that we can add support to it.

Overmind can use natively any cloud supported by libcloud (see current support). While we only managed to test EC2 and Rackspace so far, adding a new provider is as easy as editing your provider_meta.py file.

To add GoGrid, for example, just add this to provider_meta.py:

    ‘GOGRID’: {

        ‘display_name’: ‘GoGrid,

        ’access_key’: ‘whatever gogrid calls its access key/username’,

        ‘secret_key’: ‘Whatever gogrid calls its secret token, or None if not needed’,

    },

Once you verify that it works, come and tell us!, so that we can add it, or send us a pull request.
