Eucalyptus is pretty cool. They have implemented a lot of the EC2 API. So, you can use a lot of the same 3rd party tools ment to manage EC2 VM instances to manage your Eucalyptus instances. Not sure how well Eucalyptus is with accounting (CPU, bandwith useage reporting). But if it is ok, I bet a few companies will pop up soon offering cloud services that directly compete with EC2, using Eucalyptus.

It’s a lot simpler than you’d think. With the recent Ubuntu Server 9.10 beta release, you are now able to easily deploy that infrastructure from the CD installer. -- "As we open our newspapers or watch our television screens, we seem to be continually assaulted by the fruits of Mankind's stupidity." -Roger Penrose _______________________________________________ LinuxUsers mailing list [email protected] http://socallinux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxusers _______________________________________________ LinuxUsers mailing list [email protected] http://socallinux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxusers
