Here are some more details of the release;
ElasticHosts, the second European cloud infrastructure and the world's first public cloud based upon KVM*, today released its API and remote management tool. These enable users to automatically upload server images and control servers running within ElasticHosts' flexible infrastructure, supplementing the existing web management interface.
ElasticHosts provides flexible server capacity in the UK for scalable web hosting and on-demand burst computing uses such as development/test, batch compute, overflow capacity and disaster recovery.
