• SDK set has also been expanded now for increased AWS compatibility.

• No need for kernal and ramdisk images

• Create images from running instances

• Convert VMware and AWS images to Eucalyptus images

• Validate uploaded images before publishing

• Maintenance mode & Warm Upgrades for zero downtime maintenance tasks on your Eucalyptus cloud

• Get increased high availability through improved error detection, control of primary service assignments and manual failover
