7 | 73c1380c | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | Here, at the |
8 | 73c1380c | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | `Greek Research and Technology Network <http://grnet.gr/default.asp?pid=1&la=2>`_, |
9 | 73c1380c | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | we have been developing an IaaS cloud management software called **synnefo** |
10 | 73c1380c | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | (or **+nefo**) that is accessed and managed via the OpenStack Compute API v1.1. |
11 | 73c1380c | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | We have also recently deployed synnefo in one of our datacenters to provide the |
12 | 73c1380c | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | `~okeanos <http://okeanos.grnet.gr/>`_ IaaS service to the Greek Research and |
13 | 73c1380c | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | Academic Community (currenty in alpha testing phase). |
14 | fa0fa721 | Giorgos Verigakis | |
15 | fa0fa721 | Giorgos Verigakis | From the early start, we needed a simple command-line tool to test the OpenStack API. |
16 | fa0fa721 | Giorgos Verigakis | That's why we developed ./kamaki, which proved to be powerful and intuitive enough, |
17 | fa0fa721 | Giorgos Verigakis | to be used not only for testing purposes but also as a complete Openstack Compute API v1.1 |
18 | fa0fa721 | Giorgos Verigakis | client, able to manage our cloud from the command line. |
19 | fa0fa721 | Giorgos Verigakis | |
20 | fa0fa721 | Giorgos Verigakis | Once it proved so useful to us, we decided to open the source, so the community can benefit |
21 | fa0fa721 | Giorgos Verigakis | from it, and ./kamaki can benefit from the community too. |

28 | fa0fa721 | Giorgos Verigakis | software, by the deployment team who operates the ~okeanos service and by all the alpha |
29 | fa0fa721 | Giorgos Verigakis | testers using the ~okeanos service and want to access the service from the command line. |
