<br>
I was reading through Amazon EC2 prerequisites [1] which implies that<br>
there can be only one set of AWS credentials per opennebula cloud. Is<br>
that correct? This might not be a problem for a "private cloud" operated<br>
by only one organisation / company. For a public cloud that want's to<br>
leave room for 3rd party cloud bursting it is a problem. Ideally every<br>
user / group should be able to provide his/her own credentials while<br>
instantiating/creating a new vm. What is the reason to use a config file<br>
for this instead of having this info in a template?<br>

<div><br></div><div>Actually you can define multiple ec2 accounts, see the Multi EC2 Site/Region/Account section of that guide [1]. You can create a hybrid host for each group, and then adjust the permissions so each one can only deploy VMs in the host with the right credentials.</div>
<div><br></div><div>We could come up with an ec2 driver that reads the credentials from the VM template, although I'm not sure how difficult it would be to make it work with the current code. Please open a feature request if the above multi account feature does not solve your use case.</div>
