Amazon Web Services EC2 Compatible Interface &PRODUCT; can translate Amazon Web Services (AWS) API calls to native &PRODUCT; API calls so that users can continue using existing AWS-compatible tools. This translation service runs as a separate web application in the same tomcat server as the management server of &PRODUCT;, listening on the same port. This Amazon EC2-compatible API is accessible through a SOAP web service as well as the REST query interface. Expect the SOAP service to be deprecated in new releases in favor of the REST interface. This service was previously enabled by a separate software called CloudBridge, it is now fully integrated with the &PRODUCT; management server. Limitations Supported only in zones that use basic networking. Available in fresh installations of &PRODUCT;. Not available through upgrade of previous versions. If you need to support features such as elastic IP, set up a Citrix NetScaler to provide this service. The commands such as ec2-associate-address will not work without EIP setup. Users running VMs in this zone will be using the NetScaler-enabled network offering (DefaultSharedNetscalerEIP and ELBNetworkOffering).
