Hi all!! I’m trying to manage opennebula with jclouds.. jclouds has generic EC2 support and I’d like to exploit that to interact with opennebula. Is there a way to do it? anyone has already tried? Thank you!! ---

Have you tried this: [https://github.com/OpenNebula/addon-jclouds4one](https://github.com/OpenNebula/addon-jclouds4one) ? ---

I think that jclouds4one let opennebula use jclouds… I’d like to use jClouds to manage OpenNebula and not viceversa ---

I have created a class for jClouds to access OpenNebula… but when I try to list instances (like econe-describe-instances does) I get error because OpenNebula instances don’t match EC2 instances types (the protocol I’m using to interface)… it fails when it tries to get InstanceType (i.e. m1.small ) but OpenNebula instances and templates don’t have that attribute… ---

You can only list opennebula instances that have been instantiated through the EC2 interface. ---

thank you for your reply one more question can I deploy and manage vms in opennebula with aws ec2 cli? or I can only manage those already deployed on aws? ---

You can use the aws ec2 cli to interact with OpenNebula, but you have to deploy the econe-server [1] on top of oned. Note that this server implements a subset of the Amazon API, so you will find commands that will not work. You can find the list of supported API calls in the docs [2]. This way you will be able to deploy VMs locally (kvm, xen, VMWare…) or in an external cloud provider (EC2, Azure, Softalyer…), if you have configured a hybrid host [3], using the aws ec2 cli. However, in order to use all the functionality provided by OpenNebula I would recommend you to use the native OpenNebula interfaces (Sunstone, CLI, OCA bindings…) [1] [http://docs.opennebula.org/4.14/advanced\_administration/public\_cloud/ec2qcg.html](http://docs.opennebula.org/4.14/advanced_administration/public_cloud/ec2qcg.html) [2] [http://docs.opennebula.org/4.14/advanced\_administration/public\_cloud/ec2qug.html](http://docs.opennebula.org/4.14/advanced_administration/public_cloud/ec2qug.html) [3] [http://docs.opennebula.org/4.14/advanced\_administration/cloud\_bursting/introh.html](http://docs.opennebula.org/4.14/advanced_administration/cloud_bursting/introh.html)
