Using Python Boto with HPE Helion Eucalyptus

Python Boto is a popular interface to use with Amazon Web Services (AWS). HPE Helion Eucalyptus implements AWS-compatible service endpoints that allows users to leverage their own hardware for developing solutions to be used in either on-premise (HPE Helion Eucalyptus only) or hybrid (HPE Helion Eucalyptus and AWS) cloud environments. The goal of this blog entry is to shed light as to the various examples of how to use boto with HPE Helion Eucalyptus.

Over the years, there have been a few blog entries that discussed how to use boto and boto3 with HPE Helion Eucalyptus (before the HP acquisition, the product was just Eucalyptus). Below is a list of blogs that covered this topic:

• Using Boto3 Against HPE Helion Eucalyptus 4.2 Deployments
• Using Boto’s connect_to_region Function with Eucalyptus 4.1
• Eucalyptus 4.0 OSG Bucket ACLs and Object Lifecycle Management Using Python Boto and s3cmd
• Adding Eucalyptus Load Balancer Access Logging For Eucalyptus Cloud Users (deprecated with the release of HPE Helion Eucalyptus 4.2 which supports ELB access logs.)
