Capacity pool definition file – EC2 adapter

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

<!--

This file defines EC2 capacity pools. A capacity pool definition appears as a

Cloud Resource in the server inventory. Add, remove, and modify Resources elements

as necessary to represent cloud resource capacity.

For each Resources element:

- The Id value is used to locate the corresponding capacity pool configuration file.

For example, the configuration for a capacity pool with Id "sample-ec2-pool"

would be found in the file "sample-ec2-pool.properties". The Id value is

also used to access provisioned resources and must not be modified when the

pool is in use.

- The Name value is used as the Cloud Resource name for display purposes.

- The Provider value is the name of the underlying provider of the cloud resources.

- The ProviderConsoleUrl, if specified, provides a convenience link from the Cloud

Resource in the Matrix infrastructure orchestration Console to the cloud

provider console.

For more information about the highlighted values in this section, see the "Value examples" table that follows the sample file.

# This file specifies the properties for an Amazon EC2 capacity pool

# defined in ec2-cloud-pools.xml.

# The API endpoint used to interact with the cloud provider.

# Note: The use of an HTTPS endpoint may require a cloud provider certificate

# to be added to the trust store. Retrieve the root certificate (e.g.,

# VeriSign Trust Network) from the provider and place it in a file. Add it to

# the trust store using the command "mxcert -t -f <certificate-file>".

provider.api.endpoint=https://ec2.us-east-1.amazonaws.com

# Specify proxy settings if required to access the provider API endpoint

proxy.host=

proxy.port=

# Access Key ID for the Amazon AWS account

provider.account.accesskeyid=

# An mxpassword entry must be created with this key name, containing the

# account Secret Access Key value associated with the Access Key ID.

# Use the command "mxpassword -a -x <key>=<aws-secret-access-key>", where

# in this example the <key> is "ec2-account-1".

provider.account.mxpassword.key=ec2-account-1

# ID of a pre-configured VPC into which to provision resources. If defined,

# the capacity pool specifically targets the specified VPC and cannot be used

# to provision resources to an EC2 availability zone.

#provider.vpc.id=vpc-1a2b3c4d

# An ID used to correlate AWS accounts (and availability zone names

# specifically) across cloud capacity pools. It does not need to contain an

# actual account name. The value appears in EC2 subnet IDs; it is not used

# if provider.vpc.id is defined.

provider.account.id=acct1
