Hi Mickael,

Any OSGi framework with the ACE management agent bundle installed is a target. 
This way you can potentially use ACE to provision to any kind of environment. 
There is also the ace-launcher however. This is basically a Felix installation 
with the management agent installed. You can simply start the jar using java 
-jar and it will start acting as a target. You can find the ace-launcher in the 
store folder of the devserver, or in the target folder of the 
org.apache.ace.launcher project.

For example: java -jar ace-launcher.jar identification=mytarget 
discovery=http://[devserver-ip]:8080

When you want to use targets on Amazon EC2 nodes, you can also start nodes from 
the UI. You do need to configure your account first in 
conf/org.apache.ace.nodelauncher.amazon.cfg though.

Hi,

I've downloaded the Apache Ace distriubution (devserver) on one machine
that will be the server and I've launched it using the batch file run.bat.
I can access the WEB UI on the server. I would like to create a target on
another machine.

Should I download the same distribution (i.e. devserver) on the other
machine? If yes, how to install Ace as a target and not as a server? What
is the purpose of the devgateway distribution?

I know there is a possibility to install Ace as a feature on Apache Karaf
but I can't find this feature in the distribution. I can see it in the
trunk but I don't know if I can use it.

Thanks,
Mickael
