I think Nim would really take off if there was a good and actively-maintained SDK for a major cloud provider, or even for one of the larger VPS sellers.

I don't think so. I have binding to the google cloud API https://github.com/treeform/googleapi (for work) and the digital ocean API https://github.com/treeform/digitalocean (for personal) almost no one uses or cares about it besides me. If there was some pent up demand I would have more issues and PRs.

Thanks for making these, I actually had no idea these existed! I don't "need" them now but seeing these gives me ideas for projects and makes future things easier.

I wish discovery of community libraries was higher, I'm constantly discovering libraries that do amazing things 'hidden' away. I know there's https://nimble.directory/ and https://github.com/xflywind/awesome-nim but most of the time I end up using a search engine for something specific only if I think of it.

Thanks - I wasn't aware of yours, last time I looked I just found a couple of abandoned and not very user-friendly versions for AWS.

I'll take a better look at the DO version specifically as I'd like something equivalent for Vultr and Hetzner.
