Tools for developing applications specifically for Amazon's cloud computing platform.
The SDK under review is an essential tool for developers interested in the Amazon Elastic Computing Cloud (EC2). This software package offers libraries that can be utilized to interface with the cloud APIs provided by Amazon. With access to these libraries, developers can create customized Amazon AMI images, which can be easily launched as instances in EC2.
Amazon EC2 offers scalable computing capacity in the cloud, and with the TurnKey EC2 SDK Live CD appliance, developers can enjoy all the standard features found in TurnKey core as well as additional features that enhance their experience.
The features that come with this SDK include EC2 AMI/API tools and a pre-configured environment designed explicitly for EC2SDK. In addition to these, you also get access to Rightscale libraries, AWS Ruby support, AWS Python support (Boto), and Ipython - this allows developers to use the Boto library interactively.
Furthermore, the SDK includes ntpdate, which ensures that your system time is always in sync with Amazon's servers, and Amazon Web Services documentation. The SDK also provides SSL support out of the box and a TurnKey web control panel for added convenience.
For security purposes, all secrets are regenerated during installation/first boot, and default credentials are provided. These include username root and no password for Webmin, Webshell, and SSH. However, users need to set a password during installation to ensure security.
Overall, this SDK is an excellent choice for developers interested in building cloud-based applications using the Amazon EC2 platform. It offers several features that make development more accessible, including some that are not available in other SDKs.
