This document discusses various ways to interface Apache CloudStack with other cloud platforms like AWS and GCE. It provides examples of using CloudStack's native AWS and GCE interfaces to manage resources on those platforms. It concludes that CloudStack has a strong API and ecosystem for building hybrid cloud solutions, and coverage of the AWS API is expanding.

17. AWS Interface

18. Native AWS interface
• EC2 really
• Java application with axis
$service cloudstack-awsapi start
Bit of a pain for packaging and build

19. Aim
• Remove AWSAPI
• Simplify packaging and build
• Have an interface easier to maintain and
extend
• Add other services in addition to EC2

21. API coverage…33%

$aws ec2 describe-key-pairs --endpoint=http://localhost:5000
$aws ec2 create-key-pair --endpoint=http://localhost:5000 --key-name=test

23. AWS Cloud Formation

24. Conclusions

25. Conclusions
• CloudStack API rocks
• Ecosystem is vibrant
If you want hybrid cloud check:
• GCE interface
• AWS interface
• Expect better API coverage by this summer.
