Reconsider the name?

Broker made it to pypi as broker (old unmaintained project was removed)

I like the premise, but I feel like the word "factory" for anything that isn't actually creating the objects isn't quite right? I might be being a stickler though.

We're checking out vms and checking them back in, so maybe a librarian joke could be made 😄 . That is also potentially too show-offy without being useful, though.

vmfactory is simple and works. (librarian is a fun name though...)

@dsesami you're correct with the factory naming not being appropriate since broker doesn't do any actual work. It is a people person, it is good with talking to people!
All kidding aside, librarian was one of the early naming concepts, but it was a bit long for my taste.
If a rename is in order, VMBroker/vmBroker/VMbroker could be considerations.

@JacobCallahan with the focus on brokering provider workflows that give you a resource (maybe a VM), what about HostBroker
