CloudTUI is a Text-User-Interface that helps cloud users to manage three of
the most famous cloud platforms: Eucalyptus, Nimbus and OpenStack. With
CloudTUI you can easy create/delete/monitor instances and volumes.

************* Requirements ******************

- python  > 2.4 
- Nimbus or Eucalyptus or OpenStack client already working

************* Configuration *****************
The necessary parameters for each application are asked when you launch the
cloudTUI tool. In particular,
-- for Nimbus, cloudTUI will ask you to specify the path of the nimbus
cloud client
-- for OpenStack and Eucalyptus, cloudTUI will ask you to specify the path
of eucarc/novarc file. If a key-pair already exists, the user have to copy
the private key file into cloudTUI/Eucalyptus/Keys or
cloudTUI/Openstack/Keys depending on which cloud platform you plan to use

************* Installation ******************
All you have to do is just unpack the archive cloudTUI.tgz file:
$ tar xvfz cloudTUI.tgz

This command will create a new directory "cloudTUI".

************ Usage *************************
Change the directory to cloudTUI and just type
$ python cloudTUI.py

********* Help and support *****************
Just contact massimo.canonico@unipmn.it for any problem or comments.
Thanks.
