EC2 command SOAP / REST call CloudPlatform API call

The noReboot parameter is not

supported.

ec2-deregister DeregisterImage DeleteTemplate

ec2-describe-images DescribeImages listTemplates

ec2-register

For the optional parameter

architecture, use the

CloudPlatform format rather

than the EC2 format. The

CloudPlatform format includes

the template format, zone, OS

type, hypervisorm and required

parameters. For example,

architecture='VHD:basiczone1:Centos

5.3 (64-bit):xenserver'.

In addition to the EC2 VM

states, can also return a

CloudPlatform error state.

Known issue: The

CloudPlatform device ID of

0, which represents a root

volume, does not map to

any EC2 device name to be

returned in the command

response.
