Recently, there was a blog entry posted on the AWS Developer Blog discussing how to migrate to boto3. Since HPE Helion Eucalyptus strives to provide 100% AWS-compatible APIs for implemented services, AWS SDKs – such as the AWS SDK for Python – works solidly. This blog entry will demonstrate how to use boto3 – the latest […]
Typically, when documenting how to use the Python interface boto with Eucalyptus clouds, the function connect_<service> is always leveraged (<service> being ec2, s3, iam, sts, elb, cloudformation, cloudwatch, or autoscale). The focus of this blog entry is to demonstrate how to use the connect_to_region function associated with each AWS service supported by Eucalyptus. This will be […]

Using third party tools, such as python boto and s3cmd, features such as listing buckets and objects, listing running instances and assuming […]
Preface Eucalyptus continues to strive as the best on-premise AWS-compatible Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). One of the great things about Eucalyptus being an open source platform, is that if there is an AWS feature that any cloud administrator/developer wants to add, they have the ability to do it. This blog entry will cover how […]
As mentioned in my past blog, Eucalyptus has the concept of EUARE (IAM) Roles which pretty much work the same way as AWS IAM Roles. This blog with discuss how to set up cross-account API access using EUARE (IAM) Roles in Eucalyptus 4.0.2. Cross-account API access is very useful for use cases where there are […]
IAM Roles in AWS are quite powerful – especially when users need instances to access service APIs to implement complex deployments. In the past, this could be accomplished by passing access keys and secret keys through the instance user data service, which can be cumbersome and is quite insecure. With IAM roles, instances can be […]
