Use the new API to control your cloud computing servers
Rejila Cloud Computing will soon be publically releasing its restful HTTP API providing real time provisioning and control of Rejila services. The API will enable customers to create a new server to expand your virtual data centre or control your existing cloud servers.
While the Rejila drag and drop web interface is an easy way to work with your cloud servers, an API allows you to take advantage of one of the key features of cloud computing - automation. Gain flexibility in your IT infrastructure by developing applications that can scale to your needs. An ideal way to take better advantage of utility style billing.
Current Rejila beta users will be able to use the API in the next few weeks. Documentation will be delivered through myRejila.
