Verify operation¶

Verify operation of the ec2-api service.

1. Source the admin project credentials to gain access to admin-only CLI commands:

   $ . admin-openrc
   

2. List service components to verify successful launch and registration of each process:

   $ openstack service list
   

3. Download aws cli from Amazon. Create configuration file for aws cli in your home directory ~/.aws/config:

   [default]
   aws_access_key_id = 1b013f18d5ed47ae8ed0fbb8debc036b
   aws_secret_access_key = 9bbc6f270ffd4dfdbe0e896947f41df3
   region = RegionOne
   

   Change the aws_access_key_id and aws_secret_acces_key above to the values appropriate for your cloud (can be obtained by “keystone ec2-credentials-list” command).

4. Run aws cli commands using new EC2 API endpoint URL (can be obtained from keystone with the new port 8788) like this:

   aws --endpoint-url http://10.0.2.15:8788 ec2 describe-images
