I wrote up a post about UEC earlier this year. http://blog.failmode.com/
I’m now using the same API to manage my own virtual servers in the failmode lab. A couple of years ago a research project called Eucalyptus<http://open.eucalyptus.com/> set about trying to re-implement the EC2/S3 APIs. The project bore fruit and has been adopted as the technology behind Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud<http://www.ubuntu.com/cloud> (UEC). In short, you select UEC when installing Ubuntu on your servers and it lets you manage them using an EC2/S3 compatible API. Since the I've gone off Eucalyptus a bit. I found it hard to debug problems with it and wouldn't feel comfortable using it in a production environment. - Mike <http://blog.failmode.com/> On Mon, Nov 29, 2010 at 11:07 AM, Korny Sietsma <ko...@sietsma.com> wrote: > Same here - the official Ubuntu ones are pretty good. > I must admit I haven't used any of their UEC "cloud" add-ons though; the > doco seemed rather opaque, and I couldn't easily work out what they add over > what you get out of the box.
