-Description: managing cloud instances for Eucalyptus
- EUCALYPTUS is an open source service overlay that implements elastic
- computing using existing resources. The goal of EUCALYPTUS is to allow
- sites with existing clusters and server infrastructure to co-host an
- elastic computing service that is interface-compatible with Amazon's EC2.
- .
- Elastic Utility Computing Architecture for Linking Your Programs
- To Useful Systems - is an open-source software infrastructure for
- implementing "cloud computing" on clusters.  Eucalyptus Systems is the
- pioneer in open source cloud computing technology that delivers hybrid
- cloud deployments for enterprise data centers. Leveraging Linux and web
- service technologies that commonly exist in today's IT infrastructure,
- Eucalyptus enables customers to quickly and easily create elastic clouds
- in minutes. This "no lock-in" approach provides users with ultimate
- flexibility when delivering their SLAs.
- .
- Eucalyptus is more than just virtualization. Along with building virtual
- machines, the technology supports the network and storage infrastructure
- within the cloud environment. Eucalyptus works with multiple flavors
- of Linux including Ubuntu, OpenSuse, Debian, and CentOS. Eucalyptus
- currently supports Xen and KVM hypervisors.  These tools are meant to
- be CLI compatible with the ec2-api-tools.

+Description: tools for interacting with AWS API-compatible services
+ Command-line tools for interacting with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and other
+ AWS-compatible services, such as Eucalyptus and OpenStack, that export a
+ REST/Query-based API compatible with Amazon EC2, IAM, and S3 services.  The
+ tools can be used with both Amazon's services and with installations of the
+ Eucalyptus open-source cloud-computing infrastructure.  The tools were inspired
+ by command-line tools distributed by Amazon (api-tools and ami-tools) and
+ largely accept the same options and environment variables.  However, these
+ tools were implemented from scratch in Python, relying on the Boto AWS library
+ and M2Crypto toolkit.
