Dewpoint is a wrapper for the excellent libcloud library. A compatible version (0.3.1) is packaged with dewpoint.

Configuration files for dewpoint by default can be stored in ~/.dewpoint/dewpoint.ini. They are in standard ini format and look like this:


[default] provider: rackspace

[rackspace] user: YOUR USER key: YOUR API KEY default_size: 256 default_image: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (lucid)


Please note that this tool has so far only been tested against RackSpace Cloud, although the interface should be capable of supporting other libcloud providers without too much additional work.
