EucaLobo
EucaLobo is an application for managing Eucalyptus resources with a simple and easy to use client-side UI.
This project is a fork of EucaLobo with URLs replaced to point at a Eucalyptus install.
In addition, it integrates well with the AWS command line tools such that the user can easily configure both EucaLobo and the CLI to work together.
