At this point, it would be good to check that you can access the console of the newly created instance, followed by destroying the instance.

EC2 testing

  • Access the UI at http://localhost:8080/clientImage Added
  • Under Global Settings, set enable.ec2.api to true
  • Under Accounts, generate keys for the admin user in the admin account
  • Under service offerings, rename tinyOffering as m1.small
  • In your Virtual Box settings, forward port 7080
  • cd awsapi-setup/setup and use the python script cloudstack-aws-api-register to register the user.
  • you can specify an empty file as cert but use the keys generated in the GUI
  • if the registration works you should see the credentials in the cloudbridge database in the usercredentials table
  • Use a python script similar as below to launch an instance:
