Yes, would be interesting to hear what John Keiser thinks on this.

There is also the Heat DSL (driven by the OpenStack community) which aims exactly at an abstract definition of cloud infrastructures (think of a more generic AWS cloudformation).

Cheers, Torben

I'm not sure. John Keiser would be the best person to answer.
However... I have talked to some folks about this and they've warned
us off the idea, because there is actually less commonality than you
might think amongst the cloud providers.

Since I don't have broad operational experience with anything beyond
AWS I thought I'd merely relate that. If anyone can weigh in, we'd
certainly welcome the feedback.
