I'm removing this partly incorrect statement in my original bug report: > - euca-register requires setting $EC2_ACCESS_KEY and $EC2_SECRET_KEY instead of also checking $AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and $AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_ID as ec2-register does.
euca2ools is based on the access key and secret key, while Amazon's EC2 API tools are based on the X.509 certificate and private key. This is a more fundamental incompatibility which I don't expect is going to be changed just to make things seem similar on the surface. If somebody else thinks it should be modified, then it should be a separate bug report. ** Description changed: Binary package hint: euca2ools As I understand it, one of the goals in Ubuntu is for euca2ools to be a drop in replacement for Amazon's EC2 AMI (and API) command line tools. The following are differences where I noticed that I had to set additional environment variables for euca2ools to function properly. - euca-upload-bundle requires setting S3_URL instead of just defaulting to https://s3.amazonaws.com as ec2-upload-bundle does. - euca-register requires setting $EC2_URL instead of defaulting to https://ec2.amazonaws.com as ec2-register does. - - - euca-register requires setting $EC2_ACCESS_KEY and $EC2_SECRET_KEY - instead of also checking $AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and - $AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_ID as ec2-register does.
