    Description

      Jclouds 1.5.0 brings a lot of improvements and a set of new providers we can use.

      Adrian added on the discussion list:

      "Jclouds 1.5 has a concept called TemplateBuilderSpec which allows you to
      declare a String representation of TemplateBuilder mechanics.

      This allows you to set a property to override the default templates used in
      jclouds.

      For ex.

      aws-ec2.template=imageId=ami-foo,hardwareId=m1.large,locationId=eu-west-1

      Importantly, these are just strings, so you can publish a series per
      operating system family, and choose at runtime with
      templateBuilder.from(spec)

      Ex. You can make your own Map<String, TemplateBuilderSpec> with your
      favorite choices, perhaps locking in templates by id so you don't have to
      maintain the brittle java install scripts.

      Ex.

      templates.get("oneiric-java-ec2");

      Regardless of how this is used, the important part is that the constant
      complaints of automatic selection can now be over, as we can provide a
      properties syntax to afford users a means to supply their preferences
      declaratively."
