So far so good with Eucalyptus. I like the base system and can now move images back and forth between Amazon and my local Eucalyptus deployment. Works quite well - the only real limit is my bandwidth. That will resolve itself with FIOS in a few weeks.
 
The best interface for managing Eucalyptus that I have found is Hybridfox. It's a re-roll of Elasticfox that supports EC2 and Eucalyptus from the same plugin. Unfortunately S3Fox doesn't seem to extend to Eucalyptus. The best I have managed so far for a Walrus (Eucalyptus S3) interface is an older re-rolled version of s3cmd. It's workable, but not even in the same ballpark as S3Fox for ease of use.
 
I also chimed in on one of the Eucalyptus forums with a few details on migrating images back and forth between Amazon and EC2. They do need to be re-rolled with a different encryption key which may not be obvious.

I was interested in running Fedora Core 12 amd64 as dom0. Since the default kernel has no dom0 support, I wanted to use the myoung dom0 kernels. Unfortunately, they won't work with Xen 3.4.2 which is the latest included build in Fedora Core 12 and even Rawhide. I took the latest 3.4.3 build, rolled them into RPMs, and installed it. This works with the myoung kernels. Hopefully it will be of use to some of you. If there is interest, I'll stand up a yum repo for this.

I'm quite interested in the Eucalyptus Cloud platform. I wanted to run it on a Fedora Core 12 amd64 platform, yet they only make RPMs available for CentOS. I corrected a bunch of things in the spec files and rolled binary RPMs for Fedora. I hope they are useful. If there is demand I'll stand up a yum repo for them as well. Please chime in with comments if you are interested in this.

I shared the following text with my organization recently for security awareness purposes. I thought it was worth posting as well.

There's a fairly new website called Foursquare. It is a free site that allows people to publish their physical location via twitter. The idea is you can tell the world you are at the movies and perhaps catch up with friends who are also in the area. Do you see where this is going yet?
