- Ubuntu has packages for some AWS tools:
- 
-   * EC2 API Tools [package: ec2-api-tools]
-   * EC2 AMI Tools [package: ec2-ami-tools]
-   * RDS - Relational Database Service [package: rdscli]
-   * IAM - Identity and Access Management [package: iamcli]
- 
- If we want Ubuntu to be the easiest distro for use with the biggest and
- most popular public cloud, then there are a number of other important
- AWS tool sets that we need to have packaged for easy installation in
- Ubuntu when using AWS services, including:
- 
-   * ELB - Elastic Load Balancing - http://aws.amazon.com/developertools/2536
-     [packaged as 'elbcli' in ppa:awstools-dev/awstools]
-   * aws-cloudformation-cli
-     [packaged as 'aws-cloudformation-cli' in ppa:awstools-dev/aws-cloudformation-cli]
-   * Auto Scaling - http://aws.amazon.com/developertools/2535
-   * CloudWatch - http://aws.amazon.com/developertools/2534
-   * ElastiCache - http://aws.amazon.com/developertools/Amazon-ElastiCache/2310261897259567
-   * AWS Import/Export - http://aws.amazon.com/importexport/tools/
-   * EMR - Elastic MapReduce - http://aws.amazon.com/developertools/Elastic-MapReduce/2264
-   * CloudSearch - http://aws.amazon.com/developertools/9054800585729911
-   * CloudFront - ? http://aws.amazon.com/code/CloudFront
-   * Route53 - ?
-   * etc.
- 
- If all of these can't be supported, then prioritize the important ones
- with user feedback and start working on getting them into Ubuntu, or at
- least into a PPA.
- 
- Note: Scott Moser has started an awstools team and PPA which can be used
- for this purpose, but there have not been sufficient resources applied
- to date in adding and updating all of the important tools:
- https://launchpad.net/~awstools-dev/+archive/awstools
- 
- Generally, I think I've got a reasonably easily copied [template] in
- rdscli for the aws java tools.
