An integrated interface to current and future infrastructural services compatible with AWS.

Example Usage ¶

Setup boto ¶

Install boto, setup the environment, and so on.

As root,

python setup.py install 

Using ¶

Eucalyptus EC2 interface

region = RegionInfo(name="eucalyptus", endpoint="hostname")

connection = boto.connect_ec2(aws_access_key_id="access key",
                              aws_secret_access_key="secret",
                              is_secure=False,
                              region=region,
                              port=8773,
                              path="/services/Eucalyptus")

#Run commands

zones = connection.get_all_zones()

where, "hostname" is the name of the Eucalyptus front end.

For instance, if EC2_URL is set to http://192.168.9.1:8773/services/Eucalyptus,

hostname should be "192.168.9.1"

Eucalyptus S3 interface

calling_format=boto.s3.connection.OrdinaryCallingFormat()
connection = boto.s3.Connection(aws_access_key_id="access key",
                           aws_secret_access_key="secret",
                           is_secure=False,
                           host="hostname",
                           port=8773,
                           calling_format=calling_format,
                           path="/services/Walrus")

#Run commands

bucket_instance = connection.get_bucket(bucket)
keys = bucket.get_all_keys()
for k in keys:
    #do something

Interacting with Amazon EC2

Replace "hostname" in the above examples with "ec2.amazonaws.com" or "s3.amazonaws.com" and path with "/"
