Eucalyptus is an open source software to create your own private cloud. It uses the same API as Amazon EC2 (and S3 for storage). I heared rumors that Amazon holds patents on the EC2 Webservice API and is therefore able to shutdown Ecualyptus (and other systems using the same API as Rightscale) basically from one day to another. However,...
I would like to deploy a private cloud using Ubuntu Server 9.10. There is a -sparc iso available here. My question is if any of the cloud packages included in 9.10 will work on sparc hardware? A search for sparc on the Eucalyptus forums yields no results. I realize that "commodity hardware" usually means x86 but sparc boxes are what ...

If i have to do this programmatically, i need somehow...
I'm working on building a private cloud, and we've been considering Eucalyptus and OpenNebula. Are there any other good open source platform available for building a private/hybrid cloud? Between Eucalyptus and OpenNebula, which one do you recommend? ...
I'm probably having the most simple problem, but I'm still a bit at my wits end. Basically my problems are related to this command: euca-run-instances -k mykey emi-104915A8 As you know, when starting up instance in Eucalyptus, either through API (as I actually am) or with the command above, the key pair has to be created. If I have und...
