Hi,
While endeavouring to set-up our own Eucalyptus front end (just use the Walrus), I am also testing out the EPC using s3curl.pl to gain experience. Looking at the http://open.eucalyptus.com/wiki/EucalyptusPublicCloud page, I didn't see any limitation on the number of buckets (e.g. like AWS S3' 100 per developer account), but my testing so far indicates to me that the EPC seems to have one bucket as the limit per test account.
I have done the following sequence several times, so this is not a random observation:
0. ./s3curl.pl --id personal --createBucket -- -s -v $S3_URL/bucket-name-0
1. ./s3curl.pl --id personal --del -- -s -v $S3_URL/bucket-name-1
where bucket-name is a random string that is unlikely to conflict with any existing names used by other testers. At step 1, so far I always got a HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request return code.
If this is an actual configured limit, perhaps it's a good idea to mention it explicitly in the EPC page?
Thanks,
--Zack

Zack,
you are indeed correct. I have updated the EPC link and added that as a limitation.
thanks for helping improve the docs.
