Hello, folks.  In reading this article (), I found this:

"Interestingly, Apache CloudStack will follow a dual-API strategy. First,
the project will maintain compatibility with the familiar AWS API, which
allows users to leverage tool sets built to work with AWS. Love it or hate
it, the AWS API is rapidly becoming the lingua franca of the cloud world.
The AWS API has limitations, however, and so the Apache CloudStack project
will also expose advanced functionality that is not covered by the AWS API
through a parallel CloudStack API. Users can choose whichever API is most
convenient and even use both for different reasons at the same time."

Å which is great.  Is this still valid?  How can I differentiate between
one type of API or another?

The question comes from the use case of having CloudStack on-premise, then
later migrating to AWS, but keeping the same APIs.  In other words, the
use case is to make use of the AWS API flavor so migration from on-premise
to Amazon is transparent.

Could somebody shed some light in this department?

Thanks!
