My understanding is that it used only when using SOAP to communicate with AWS. If a tool is going to use REST instead, it is not used. Thus it is not a CA, and it is used only by fewer tools (REST seems more popular lately). I think most of the euca2ool calls are not converted to REST. Not sure how many SOAP calls are leftover. cheers graziano -- Graziano Obertelli Eucalyptus Systems, Inc. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
