Jul, 2009 : Rackspace Hosting Goes Open Source with APIs

📅 July 23, 2009 - Company has made available its Cloud Files language bindings for Java, PHP, Python, C#, and Ruby under the MIT license.

Rackspace Hosting, a web hosting company, today announced that it has open sourced the specifications for its Cloud Servers and Cloud Files APIs under the Creative Commons 3.0 Attribution license. The company states that developers are now free to copy, implement, and modify the specifications, helping to enable a truly open cloud.

The company further says that 'The Rackspace Cloud' worked directly with developers in an open community to create the specifications and has now released them through Creative Commons. Creative Commons is a not-for-profit organization, founded in 2001, that promotes the creative re-use of intellectual and artistic works, whether owned or in the public domain through its free copyright licenses.

It avers that as part of its ongoing vision, to open the cloud and speed cloud development, it has also made available its Cloud Files language bindings for Java, PHP, Python, C#, and Ruby under the MIT license. The source code for these bindings is publicly available on GitHub, a public software versioning system, where external developers can now contribute, adds the company.

It also stated that it has also produced a technical guideline for Cloud Servers language bindings which is also available on GitHub. This will enable developers to build Cloud Servers bindings in a variety of languages, but with a consistent design and feel.

''Rackspace is committed to the development of open cloud solutions and standards. We are working quickly to offer a wide range of tools to help developers work with us to create these important building blocks for the cloud industry,'' said Emil Sayegh, General Manager, The Rackspace Cloud. ''Rackspace is dedicated to bringing a coordinated effort to cloud development. We are working directly with our ecosystem of developers and the broader industry to share what we create with the open source community. We believe open source APIs are an enabling factor in making interoperable non-proprietary cloud solutions a reality.''
