Which Open Source Cloud Management Platform supports Amazon-RDS?


I have been trying to use Amazon Web services, specially EC2 and RDS. Nowadays most CMP (Cloud Management Platform) like Eucalyptus, OpenNebula, OpenStack, Nimbus and CloudStack all support Ec2 to a certain level, some do it better than others.

But when it comes to Amazon's RDS service I just can't seem to find any information. It's like no CMP supports it. On my research I came across a website that suggests the use of third-party software like HybridFox, RightScale enStratus to have an RDS like support but I don't get it.

Can someone tell me if Eucalyptus, OpenNebula, OpenStack, Nimbus and CloudStack support RDS?

If not, then how I can I use third-party software to access Amazon's RDS service using the previously mentioned CMPs?


Solution

  • RDS is a proprietary technology from Amazon. The equivalent Database as a Service in OpenStack is project Red Dwarf - https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Reddwarf which is implemented as Cloud Databases at Rackspace (for MySQL)
