Jclouds

...

Component

...

Available

...

as

...

of

...

Camel

...

2.9

...

This

...

component

...

allows

...

interaction

...

with

...

cloud

...

provider

...

key-value

...

engines

...

(blobstores)

...

and

...

compute

...

services.

...

The

...

component

...

uses

...

jclouds

...

which

...

is

...


a

...

library

...

that

...

provides

...

abstractions

...

for

...

blobstores

...

and

...

compute

...

services.

...

ComputeService

...

simplifies

...

the

...

task

...

of

...

managing

...

machines

...

in

...

the

...

cloud.

...

For

...

example,

...

you

...

can

...

use

...

ComputeService

...

to

...

start

...

5

...

machines

...

and

...

install

...

your

...

software

...

on

...

them.

...


BlobStore

...

simplifies

...

dealing

...

with

...

key-value

...

providers

...

such

...

as

...

Amazon

...

S3.

...

For

...

example,

...

BlobStore

...

can

...

give

...

you

...

a

...

simple

...

Map

...

view

...

of

...

a

...

container.

...

The

...

camel

...

jclouds

...

component

...

allows

...

you

...

to

...

use

...

both

...

abstractions,

...

as

...

it

...

specifes

...

two

...

types

...

of

...

endpoint

...

the

...

JcloudsBlobStoreEndpoint

...

and

...

the

...

JcloudsComputeEndpoint.

...

You

...

can

...

have

...

both

...

producers

...

and

...

consumers

...

on

...

a

...

blobstore

...

endpoint

...

but

...

you

...

can

...

only

...

have

...

producers

...

on

...

compute

...

endpoints.

...

Maven

...

users

...

will

...

need

...

to

...

add

...

the

...

following

...

dependency

...

to

...

their

...

pom.xml

...

for

...

this

...

component:

Configuring the component

The camel jclouds component will make use of multiple jclouds blobstores and compute services as long as they are passed to the component during initialization. The component accepts a list blobstores and compute services. Here is how it can be configured.

As

can

see

the

is

multiple

and

compute

services.

The

actual

implementation

that

will

be

used

...

by

each

is

specified

by

passing

the

the

URI.
