Package gophercloud provides a multi-vendor interface to OpenStack-compatible clouds. The library has a three-level hierarchy: providers, services, and resources. Provider structs represent the service providers that offer and manage a collection of services. Examples of providers include: OpenStack, Rackspace, HP. These are defined like so: Service structs are specific to a provider and handle all of the logic and operations for a particular OpenStack service. Examples of services include: Compute, Object Storage, Block Storage. In order to define one, you need to pass in the parent provider, like so: Resource structs are the domain models that services make use of in order to work with and represent the state of API resources: Another convention is to return Result structs for API operations, which allow you to access the HTTP headers, response body, and associated errors with the network transaction. To get a resource struct, you then call the Extract method which is chained to the response.
