Re: [MirageOS-devel] ocaml libraries for interfacing with cloud providers?

[William Le Ferrand <warnegia@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Mika Illouz & I did a little bit of work on that topic 5 years ago,Âhttps://github.com/williamleferrand/aws

I'm still using it to talk to SQS & SES but I can't vouch for the EC2 code. Plus, my implementation is horrible. But it works ..Â

Here's hoping that Spiros' version isn't a SOAP-based generator... :-)
