Exploring Python-verse

As i'm progressing towards Learning Python (Progress 36%), i thought that it is better idea to explore Python and how to utilize Python with virtualization. So, i ran a google search, of course,  first for VMware then for other platforms. i was astonished with the information that i got after all the searches.
Utility for Python on Virtualization platforms:-
1)Python libraries, API, SDK and Client is available for VMware vSphere Infrastructure.

2)Python Scripting, Libraries, SDK and API available for KVM.

3)Python is used to write Openstack and is fully compatible with OpenStack Components/Elements from top to bottom.

4)Python can be used for accessing Xen API.

5)Python can be used to control guest VM's on Hyper-V hosts.

So, now you also got the whole Python picture, that python is very versatile and has extensible coverage of virtualization platform.

All these points mentioned above gives only one message(in Bold), START LEARNING PYTHON, if you want to get more out of your virtual infrastructure, Automate the tasks, impress your employer/colleagues and Get a HIKE..(very touchy topic). Yeah, i understand, no one becomes master of python on virtual infrastructure, by just going through fundamentals course, you still need to dig up python libraries and API's from virtualization companies to unleash the true potential of Python, but you can consider it as your first steps towards climbing the ladder.

Although Python language is a general purpose language and it started gaining a lot of momentum in past 4-5 years. today python has tons of implementations in web, scripting, operating system, security etc. Python already secured eighth position in world's top programming language and comes third in most popular language.

So, don't leave this opportunity of Learning Python, wear your Learning hat and hop-on.
