Note: Info on Eucalyptus was provided entirely by doing a grep of the source code. The Eucalyptus repository is here: https://launchpad.net/eucalyptus.  Info on [[CloudStack]]'s [[CloudBridge]] EC2 Commands was provided from [[CloudStack]]'s Cloud Bridge Guide: http://docs.cloudstack.org/@api/deki/files/165/CloudBridgeGuide.pdf. Eucalyptus and [[OpenStack]]'s EC2 support is integrated into the respective code bases.  [[CloudStack]]'s support is provided by running a [[CloudBridge]] proxy server.  Source code for the [[CloudBridge]] proxy is here: https://github.com/CloudStack/CloudBridge

Amazon EC2 API Compatability

Note: Info on Eucalyptus was provided entirely by doing a grep of the source code. The Eucalyptus repository is here: https://launchpad.net/eucalyptus. Info on CloudStack's CloudBridge EC2 Commands was provided from CloudStack's Cloud Bridge Guide: http://docs.cloudstack.org/@api/deki/files/165/CloudBridgeGuide.pdf. Eucalyptus and OpenStack's EC2 support is integrated into the respective code bases. CloudStack's support is provided by running a CloudBridge proxy server. Source code for the CloudBridge proxy is here: https://github.com/CloudStack/CloudBridge
