2. Sign up
If you are using the Eucalyptus Community Cloud, use https://ecc.eucalyptus.com instead of your.cloud.server.

The master checkboxes on the left turn the given subscription on or off. Depending on the setup of the site, you may have additional options for active subscriptions.
Load in your browser the Web page of the Eucalyptus cloud installation that you would like to use. Ask your system administrator for the URL if you don't know it. (The URL will be of the form https://your.cloud.server:8443/, where your.cloud.server is likely to be the frontend of the cluster.)
Save
Click the "Apply" link and fill out the form presented to you. You may not be able to use the system until the (human) administrator receives the notification of your application and approves it. The more information you supply the easier it may be for the administrator to make the decision.
Load the confirmation URL that you receive in the approval email message from the cloud administrator. Log in to the system with the login and password that you chose when filling out the application form.
3. Obtain Credentials
Once you have logged in, you will see the 'Generate Certificate' button under the 'Credentials' tab. Generating a certificate for your account is necessary before you can use Amazon's EC2 command-line tools for querying and controlling Eucalyptus instances. Currently, the Web interface to Eucalyptus is limited and, hence, the use of command-line tools is practically inevitable.
Click the button to generate the certificate and save it. You can keep these keys in a secure place on any host. The following command-line instructions apply to any Unixflavored machine with bash (not necessarily the cluster where Eucalyptus was installed). (See Amazon's Getting Started Guide for the similar instructions to use under Windows.) Unzip the keys using the following command and protect them from exposure. The zip-file contains two files with the .pem extension; these are your public and private keys. mkdir ~/.euca cd ~/.euca unzip name-of-the-key-zip.zip chmod 0700 ~/.euca chmod 0600 ~/.euca/* Finally, ensure that the environment variables necessary for euca2tools to work are set by sourcing the eucarc file: . ~/.euca/eucarc
For more information on Euca2ools, see our Euca2ools User Guide. For more information on EC2 command line tools, see the EC2 Getting Started Guide. Please note that depending on the networking mode used to implement your Eucalyptus cloud, some command line tools may not be applicable (security groups/elastic IPs, etc.).
