#EC2TestSuite

• Amazon's EC2 Cloud interface is a de facto standard in cloud computing. Several Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) providers provide an 'EC2 like' interface.

• Sometimes, differences may be noticed between different interfaces (e.g. Openstack, AWS) althought there are several well known flavors

• This aspires to be a test suite that will perform black-box testing to cloud endpoints using EC2 HTTP API and pyunit, to determine: 1)Whether the Cloud Endpoint is functional and behaves as an EC2 interface. 2)Performance Tests

• The current version is a toy prototype whick checks an OpenStack Cloud in terms of minimal functionality. That is: running, describing and terminating one instance.

• The project will be under heavy development the following weeks (yay :) )!

• All code is written in python.

#How to use (currently OpenStack only)

1. Source into your system the variables EC2_ACCESS_KEY, EC2_SECRET_KEY and EC2_URL. (in next versions they will be included in conf file. For now, system variables)
2. $ sudo python setup.py install
3. Install prettytable in your preferred way.
4. $ec2test -f openstack -i yourimage

--debug flag is functional for further debugging.

#Big TODO (5 stuff at the time)

• More Info if image is invalid.
• Create real xmls, not 0 toy.
• Manage all configuration. If not in ini file, THEN on the command line.
• Fully support basic commands (filters, flavors).
• Write unit tests.
