[[ FEATURE FREEZE EXCEPTION REQUEST ]] Thierry has asked that I file a FFe in retrospect on this upload, which was perhaps more feature-full than it should have been.
My apologies to the Release Team. Part of the Server Team and the Eucalyptus team were sprinting last week, and worked our way through many bugs and issues. Solving this bug involved adding a new utility to the cloud-utils package, namely uec-run-instances: * http://manpages.ubuntu.com/uec-run-instances It's a simple python wrapper script (and manpage) that wraps euca-run- instances, but adds an additional option, -l|--launchpad-id, which is the Launchpad ID of the user who's SSH key will be inserted into the image, via the ssh-import-lp-id utility. The benefit is that UEC users can optionally use uec-run-instances for a far more convenient mechanism to launch and instance and use their normal SSH key (rather than this key that the Cloud Controller generates for you). cloud-utils builds, installs, and the uec-run-instances runs as designed. It does not break euca2ools, and other users are welcome to use euca-run-instances and ignore uec-run-instances. Traditionally, a UEC user would do something like this: if [ ! -e ~/.euca/mykey.priv ]; then touch ~/.euca/mykey.priv chmod 0600 ~/.euca/mykey.priv euca-add-keypair mykey > ~/.euca/mykey.priv fi euca-run-instances -k mykey.priv emi-4BBB12CB ssh -i ~/.euca/mykey.priv ubu...@10.1.1.10 Now, a user can run this against any ID in Launchpad that has a Public SSH key registered: uec-run-instances -l kirkland,smoser,ttx,mathiaz,zul emi-4BBB12CB And any of kirkland,smoser,ttx,mathiaz,zul can: ssh ubu...@10.1.1.10 Thanks, :-Dustin -- optionally fetch public ssh keys from Launchpad when starting an instance https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/524101 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to eucalyptus in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
