Using EC2 APIs with Devstack
Devstack works very well when using the standard OpenStack APIs/Clients, however it wasn’t obvious how to get environment setup for testing EC2 compatibility.
# Install and run devstack git clone https://github.com/openstack-dev/devstack.git cd devstack && ./stack.sh # Source environment source eurcarc # Retrieve Certificates exercises/bundle.sh # Try a euca command euca-describe-images
If you prefer to automate the bringing up of devstack on ec2 completely see http://mitchtech.net/devstack-on-ec2-via-ansible/ It will instantiate a new ec2 instance just for devstack.
Hi Chris, thanks for your comment, however the article is about enabling openstack’s EC2 API compatibility layer, so that EC2 tools can be used to interact with openstack.
