Euca2ools: Command-line tools for interacting with Amazon EC2 and S3 |

API-compatible Web services using the REST/Query API. |

Euca2ools are command-line tools for interacting with Web services that |
|
5 |
export a REST/Query-based API compatible with Amazon EC2 and S3 services. |
|
6 |
The tools can be used with both Amazon's services and with installations |
|
7 |
of the Eucalyptus open-source cloud-computing infrastructure. The tools |
|
8 |
were inspired by command-line tools distributed by Amazon (api-tools and |
|
9 |
ami-tools) and largely accept the same options and environment variables. |
|
10 |
However, these tools were implemented from scratch in Python, relying on |
|
11 |
the Boto AWS library and M2Crypto toolkit. |
