In the OpenNebula wiki you can find a howto [1] on developing this
kind of drivers. Deltacloud provides a CLI and a rubygem to interact
with his API, so it should not be difficult to build the scripts
described in the previous howto. If you have any doubts, do not
hesitate to contact us.

Also you can open a feature request in our development page [2], so we
can consider it in our next roadmap.
