Welcome

Welcome to the Eucalyptus Community Website, the meeting place for users and developers of the open-source Eucalyptus cloud-computing platform! We expect to be constantly making changes to this site with the goal of making it easier to use, so if you can think of anything the site needs or lacks, please do not hesitate to let us know. We value your expertise. Ultimately we hope that through collaboration we can make this site a valuable resource not only for those working with Eucalyptus, but anyone interested in cloud computing.

Eucalyptus Community Cloud

The Eucalyptus Community Cloud (ECC) is a sandbox environment where community members can test drive and experiment with Eucalyptus. Check out our Community Cloud page for instructions on how to sign up, SLA and more information on the ECC. The ECC is usually running the latest stable Eucalyptus code and is a good show case of what Eucalyptus can do: are you ready for a test drive?

Forums

We have updated our forums with new categories and will be adding more categories soon, including a dedicated forum for the Eucalyptus Public Cloud.

At present, these are the forum we offer:

Announcements: Want to know what’s new in Eucalyptus? Have some news to share? Interested in what other community members are up to? The Announcements forum has been set up for posting community announcements and news relating to Eucalyptus and Cloud Computing in general.
Articles and Blogs: Where do you see the cloud gaining prominence? What about security? Is it really just hype? Join us in the Articles and Blogs forum and participate in our cloud-related discussions or post a comment on our blogs.
General Discussion: Got an idea relating to Eucalyptus? Wish to share your Eucalyptus experiences? Want to know if Eucalyptus can run your custom application? Have a new image that may interest others? Let people know your ideas, experiences, needs, and expertise in the General Discussion forum.
Site Feedback: Know how to improve this site? Is there a particular feature you’d like to see? Want to suggest a new forum category? Have tips and tricks for using Drupal better? The Site forum is the place to give us feedback on our website.
Support Questions: Are you new to Eucalyptus? Wondering what type of networking mode to use? Does the MANAGED mode sound daunting? Have you encountered and resolved a question?  The Support forum is the perfect spot to post your questions and share your expertise with other community members.
Community Cloud (ECC): Have an idea on how to improve ECC? Want to share a novel use of the ECC? Do you have some question of problem regarding the ECC? This is the forum for you.

Community Wiki

Sometimes you need more than what's in the manual. The community wiki is a place where community members can help each other advance their Eucalyptus knowledge by addressing issues beyond the scope of our documentation. We encourage you to share your expertise and creativity with our community by contributing new wiki documents or improving existing ones.

IRC

When time permits, you may find some of us on IRC on irc.freenode.net at the #eucalyptus channel.

Reporting Issues and Feature Requests

Please look our issue tracking page for how to report bugs, asks for feature requests or to contact us for security issues.

Tools

Do you know of a client tool that works with Eucalyptus? Did you write a client tool that works with Eucalyptus? Or you simply hate the command line tools and are looking for something different? Then the ToolsEcoSystem page is what you are looking for.

Developer's Corner

As highlighted above, there are many ways to participate in our community. If you are the type that not only wants to identify bugs, but also fix them (or if you want to incorporate code documentation) then we welcome you as a code contributor. Please check out our Developer's corner where you can find various information related to Eucalyptus code. We also encourage you to file a Contributor Agreement.

Contact Us

We are always open to your feedback via our community forums, wiki, email, or any mechanism that works for you. We appreciate your contributions and look forward to hearing from you!
