Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

This project aims to simplify the usage of cloud services by PHP developers. The scope of the project includes the following service types:

- **Compute**: Create, Restart, Destroy and provision compute nodes in the cloud
- **DNS**: Update DNS configurations at DNS providers
- **ObjectStorage**: store objects in the cloud
- **LoadBalancer**: Manage load balancer configurations at your IaaS provider
- **Container**: Launch containers and manage images at CaaS providers

This project is inspired by the awesome Python library [libcloud](http://libcloud.apache.org) with the same name. We try to follow the design as closely as possible. We keep method names the same as the Python project, but updating it for [PSR2](http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-2/) compliance.

Using the library in your project
