CloudPlatform can translate Amazon Web Services (AWS) API calls to native CloudPlatform 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 CloudPlatform,
listening on the same port. This Amazon EC2-compatible API is accessible through a SOAP web
service and the AWS Query API. The AWS Java SDK and AWS PHP SDK are both supported by the
Query API.

• Supported only in zones that use basic networking.

• Available in fresh installations of CloudPlatform 3.0.3 and newer. 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).

• This interface complies with Amazon's WDSL version dated August 15, 2012, available at 

.

• Compatible with the EC2 command-line tools EC2 tools v. 1.6.2.0, which can be downloaded at

The software that provides AWS API compatibility is installed along with CloudPlatform. However, you

Management Server.
