Abstract
A method and apparatus for providing an application programming interface for accessing multiple disparate cloud computing systems is described. In one embodiment, the method includes defining a neutral format for cloud computing system requests and responses. The method may also include providing an application programming interface that exposes the neutral format to a client computer system to enable communication between the client computer system and a plurality of different cloud computing systems via the server computer system.
