Good point. Here is the new description that I plan for the next update of the euca2ools package, where I blended the upstream descriptions at the following pages. - http://www.eucalyptus.com/download/euca2ools - https://github.com/eucalyptus/euca2ools/blob/master/README Description: tools for interacting with AWS API-compatible services Command-line tools for interacting with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and other AWS-compatible services, such as Eucalyptus and OpenStack, that export a REST/Query-based API compatible with Amazon EC2, IAM, and S3 services. The tools can be used with both Amazon's services and with installations of the Eucalyptus open-source cloud-computing infrastructure. The tools were inspired by command-line tools distributed by Amazon (api-tools and ami-tools) and largely accept the same options and environment variables. However, these tools were implemented from scratch in Python, relying on the Boto AWS library and M2Crypto toolkit. I know that there is the word "cloud" in, but I would like to keep it as long as Upstream use it.
