What would the Eucalyptus Server address be that I would need to enter at the Ylastic site?

Quoting Thiago Camargo Martins Cordeiro <thiagocmartinsc@xxxxxxxxx>:

Well,
Screenshots I do not have... but you can make an account at my cloud to try
it! For free! =)
Make an account here:

https://wwc.worldweb.com.br:8443

After I approve your account, login and get your credentials...

Now go to https://dashboard.ylastic.com/esignup and signup into the Ylastic
EC2 Management Interface and:

Go here: https://dashboard.ylastic.com to manage your virtual machines
(instances), firewall rules, images, groups, etc...

I have small Eucalyptus installation just for tests...

Also, you can use the ElasticFox to manage your account, but at this time,
it is not fully supported...

Cheers!
Thiago

Eucalyptus...

First, thanks all of you for your encouragements.

To Grant McWilliams :
So far, I just use RPC to control Xen daemon : the API is well
documented. See

http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenApi?action="">
<

My soft can run on every machine with a web server + PHP5 and sqlite.
Just need a connectivity with the Xen daemon. Yes, it can works
accross Internet or every networks (but be sure to use encryption !)

So, no root or other stuff like that. In my case, I choose to make
things simple : just an htaccess (so far).

With the API, you've got access to the entire Xen daemon, but I think
it's not so hard to restrict an user to a VM (or more). It's "just" an
added layer, can be interfaced with ldap, mysql or pgsql database,
with adaquates informations on users.

Just an example of Xen architecture + XenOrchestra :

Dom01 Dom02 Dom03
___|_____________|____________|__________ (network)
| | |
Xen orchestra client other client

As you can see, clients are contacting the Xen Orchstra web interface,
and then, this one check Dom0's with Remote procedure call.

With this, you can do everything you want. Just need to implement it !
Limitations are the API, which suffer from certain shortcomings (like
impossible to differenciate a migrated or an halted VM).

For your "feature request", I think I'll do, but in a first time, my
goal is to admin Xen easily. But ASAP, I'll try to respond to your
request.
And as it's a open source project, everyone can contribute, so.. more
we are, more the project will be great :)

Regards,

Olivier

P.S : sorry if there is misspelling in my text, I'm not perfect in
English ;)

Thiago,

Do you have some screen shots to show us how Eucalyptus works?

Cheers.
