I'm removing this partly incorrect statement in my original bug report:
> - euca-register requires setting $EC2_ACCESS_KEY and $EC2_SECRET_KEY
instead of also checking $AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and
$AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_ID as ec2-register does.
euca2ools is based on the access key and secret key, while Amazon's EC2
API tools are based on the X.509 certificate and private key. This is
a more fundamental incompatibility which I don't expect is going to be
changed just to make things seem similar on the surface. If somebody
else thinks it should be modified, then it should be a separate bug
report.
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: euca2ools
As I understand it, one of the goals in Ubuntu is for euca2ools to be a
drop in replacement for Amazon's EC2 AMI (and API) command line tools.
The following are differences where I noticed that I had to set
additional environment variables for euca2ools to function properly.
- euca-upload-bundle requires setting S3_URL instead of just defaulting
to https://s3.amazonaws.com as ec2-upload-bundle does.
- euca-register requires setting $EC2_URL instead of defaulting to
https://ec2.amazonaws.com as ec2-register does.
-
- - euca-register requires setting $EC2_ACCESS_KEY and $EC2_SECRET_KEY
- instead of also checking $AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and
- $AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_ID as ec2-register does.
