Canonical’s AWSOME (“Any Web Service over Me”) provides IAAS API’s for OpenStack which are also implemented by Amazon EC2, making it easy to deploy and manage cloud services across both Amazon and OpenStack clouds.
It provides high-fidelity support for core IAAS protocols on top of OpenStack, and works with OpenStack’s native identity and protocol system.
The result is a much faster and more straightforward migration, enabling your cloud strategy to develop.
AWSOME is a component of Ubuntu Cloud and an installation option within Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS. An open-source project led by Canonical and a contribution to the OpenStack community, AWSOME is released under the GNU Affero GPL v3.
The current release supports a core subset of EC2 and S3 interfaces: enough to run applications such as Juju, that start and stop instances and manage security groups. It doesn’t support every aspect of the EC2 API, nor does it support protocols other than EC2 and S3. We’re in the process of building out more support, however, both within OpenStack and the AWSOME front end.
For a detailed list of what’s supported right now, please see the documentation within the package.
For assistance with building your own private cloud and help planning which services to move, please contact Ubuntu Cloud Services.

Developers can get involved at the project’s Launchpad page. You can also sign up to the ubuntu-cloud and ubuntu-cloud-announce mailing lists.
