Of those:<br>
<br>
* libcloud appears to support the nova-volume API but not the cinder API: <a href="https://github.com/apache/libcloud/blob/trunk/libcloud/compute/drivers/openstack.py#L251" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/apache/libcloud/blob/trunk/libcloud/compute/drivers/openstack.py#L251</a><br>
<br>
* jClouds appears to support only the v1 API: <a href="https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds/tree/jclouds-1.9.1/apis/openstack-cinder/src/main/java/org/jclouds" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds/tree/jclouds-1.9.1/apis/openstack-cinder/src/main/java/org/jclouds</a><br>
<br>
* Fog also appears to only support the v1 API: <a href="https://github.com/fog/fog/blob/master/lib/fog/openstack/volume.rb#L99" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/fog/fog/blob/master/lib/fog/openstack/volume.rb#L99</a><br>
<br>
* php-opencloud appears to only support the v1 API: <a href="https://php-opencloud.readthedocs.org/en/latest/services/volume/index.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://php-opencloud.readthedocs.org/en/latest/services/volume/index.html</a><br>
<br>
* DeltaCloud I honestly haven’t looked at since it’s thoroughly dead, but I can’t imagine it supports v2.<br>
<br>
* pkgcloud has beta-level support for Cinder but I think it’s v1 (may be mistaken): <a href="https://github.com/pkgcloud/pkgcloud/#block-storage----beta" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/pkgcloud/pkgcloud/#block-storage----beta</a> and <a href="https://github.com/pkgcloud/pkgcloud/tree/master/lib/pkgcloud/openstack/blockstorage" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/pkgcloud/pkgcloud/tree/master/lib/pkgcloud/openstack/blockstorage</a><br>
<br>
* OpenStack.NET does appear to support v2: <a href="http://www.openstacknetsdk.org/docs/html/T_net_openstack_Core_Providers_IBlockStorageProvider.htm" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.openstacknetsdk.org/docs/html/T_net_openstack_Core_Providers_IBlockStorageProvider.htm</a><br>
<br>
Now, it’s anyone’s guess as to whether or not users of those client libraries actually try to use them for volume operations or not (anecdotally I know a few clouds I help support are using client libraries that only support v1), and some users might well be using more than one library or mixing in code they wrote themselves. But most of the above that support cinder do seem to rely on v1. Some management tools also appear to still rely on the v1 API (such as RightScale: <a href="http://docs.rightscale.com/clouds/openstack/openstack_config_prereqs.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://docs.rightscale.com/clouds/openstack/openstack_config_prereqs.html</a> ). From that perspective it might be useful to keep it around a while longer and disable it by default. Personally I’d probably lean that way, especially given that folks here on the ops list are still reporting problems too.<br>
<br>
That said, v1 has been deprecated since Juno, and the Juno release notes said it was going to be removed [2], so there’s a case to be made that there’s been plenty of fair warning too I suppose.<br>
