EC2 deployment with CloudStack

I was wondering if it's possible to deploy a machine to a Amazon EC2 with cloudstack. I know that cloudstack has an AWS compatible api through cloud-bridge but I do not want to manage cloudstack infrastructure but manage my AWS cloud from the cloudstack interface.

Thanks!

To be really cloud independent and being able to deploy your applications on any cloud provider, or even in bare metal with just one click or command you can use ElasticBox: AWS EC2, Cloudstack, VMware, Google Compute, Softlayer, Openstack and many others are supported cloud providers.

Here is a tutorial of how simple is to deploy on AWS EC2 with it:

@Donal Lafferty is correct -- you cannot use CloudStack to provision Amazon EC2 instances, but the main reason is that CloudStack is designed to be a tool for cloud/IaaS providers, not consumers. In other words, if you wanted to operate a private cloud inside your company or offer a public cloud service to compete with Amazon, CloudStack would be a good fit. OpenStack and VMware vCloud Director are two other options in this same space.

It sounds like you're looking for a tool to help with provisioning and managing EC2 instances. If you need something beyond the AWS Console, you might want to check out Scalr, RightScale, or the Puppet Cloud Provisioner. All three of these focus on working with Amazon AWS, but they also offer support for CloudStack if you ever want an alternative cloud provider.

Not at the moment, because the CloudStack GUI speaks to the management server using the CloudStack API.
