dotCloud: federating clouds without reinventing the wheel

What is dotCloud?
-----------------

dotCloud is a framework for distributing and deploying cloud applications across
different infrastructures, with different data.

With dotCloud you can package your servers as stateless components that can be
versioned and distributed with Mercurial. Components can then be packaged
together into complete, multi-server applications, which you can also keep
under version control.

dotCloud components, and groups of components, can be instanciated any number
of times on different cloud infrastructures (Xen, VMWare, KVM or bare metal),
and with different data. For example, you could deploy an identical clone of
your entire backend for staging purposes, in just one line.

Persistent data is organized in simple volumes which can be rsynced from cloud
to cloud, and mapped on any storage mechanism (local storage, NAS, S3, Amazon
EBS, etc.)
