Thanks, Tomaz. I tried to use deploy_node with EC2. I used a key pair already existing and set the security group right. However, it fails when logging into the node and trying to deploy the scripts. I am doing this:
node = ec2driver.deploy_node(name='test-3', image=image, size=size, deploy=msd, ex_keyname="key") The image is a Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit, ami-7539b41c The size is t1.micro The error I am getting is libcloud.compute.types.DeploymentError: <DeploymentError: node=i-11f73563, error=Bad authentication type (allowed_types=['publickey']), driver=<libcloud.compute.drivers.ec2.EC2NodeDriver object at 0xdb0b90>> I can log in just fine using ssh. The issue could be that the image expects logins as user "ubuntu" rather than root. Can I set the user with the kwargs? Thanks, Rudi
