+OpenStack EC2 API
+=====================
+
+Support of EC2 API for OpenStack.
+This project provides a standalone EC2 API service which pursues two goals:
+1. Implement VPC API which is now absent in nova's EC2 API
+2. Create a standalone service for EC2 API support which accommodates
+not only the VPC API but the rest of the EC2 API currently present in nova as
+well.
+
+It doesn't replace existing nova EC2 API service in deployment, it gets
+installed to a different port (8788 by default).
