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.

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
