Apache Whirr Wiki

Apache Whirr is a set of libraries for running cloud services. Whirr is currently in the Apache Incubator.

Whirr provides

• A cloud-neutral way to run services. You don't have to worry about the idiosyncrasies of each provider.
• A common service API. The details of provisioning are particular to the service.
• Smart defaults for services. You can get a properly configured system running quickly, while still being able to override settings as needed.

See WhirrDesign for more about Whirr's design goals.
