I think unit tests are great for type checking and the like, but are there any integration tests? If there is a change made to the CloudStack API (usually a parameter is added to the response, rarely a semantic change), will some automated test find the breakage if any? Any plans to add any?

Chiradeep, Of course, check out the git repository at https://github.com/brogand1993/ec2stack the code is pretty clean and there is 99% test coverage. TravisCI is setup to run on every commit and execute the tests along with pylint for static analysis. There's a screencast here of a rough overview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvu-gc8h4Qg&list=UUoGs2iiOIGrfXofp-3g-Qqg It looks at installation, configuration and basic usage against exoscale using awscli.

Chiradeep, During the development of ec2stack we tested it using boto, awscli, vagrant-aws and eutester. Hope this satisfy your concerns.

Since the actual EC2 API as implemented by AWS changes frequently and has undocumented semantics and behavior that varies from the WSDL, this takes some work. So, my question would be how would this benefit the community (unless someone has tested out the compatibility with various tools such as boto, ec2-* CLI).

Folks, Some of you may know of the existence of: https://github.com/BroganD1993/ec2stack https://github.com/NOPping/gstack These represent a EC2 and a GCE interface to cloudstack. Flask applications that map the requests to the cloudstack API. There was only 3 contributors, myself, Ian (PMC and committer on CS) and Darren Brogan. Darren worked on this during his GSoC 2014 summer project. Both projects are on Apache V2 license. The three of us (Ian, Darren and myself) agree that we would like to move them under the umbrella of cloudstack and manage separate releases like we do cloud monkey. Any objections ? -Sebastien
