I am trying to use AWS Powershell with Eucalyptus.

I can do this with AWS CLI with parameter --endpoint-url.

Is it possible to set endpoint url in AWS powershell? Can I create custom region with my own endpoint URL in AWS Powershell?

--UPDATE--

The newer versions of the AWS Tools for Windows PowerShell (I'm running 3.1.66.0 according to Get-AWSPowerShellVersion), has an optional -EndpointUrl parameter for the relevant commands.

Example:

Get-EC2Instance -EndpointUrl https://somehostnamehere

Additionally, the aforementioned bug has been fixed.

Good stuff!

TL;TR

  • Download the default endpoint config file from here: https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-net/blob/master/sdk/src/Core/endpoints.json

  • Customize it. Example:

    {
    "version": 2,
    "endpoints": {
        "*/*": {
            "endpoint": "your_endpoint_here"
        }
    }
}

  • After importing the AWSPowerShell module, tell the SDK to use your customized endpoint config. Example:

    [Amazon.AWSConfigs]::EndpointDefinition = "path to your customized Amazon.endpoints.json here"

Note: there is a bug in the underlying SDK that causes endpoints that have a path component from being signed correctly. The bug affects this solution and the solution @HyperAnthony proposed.

Additional Info

Reading through the .NET SDK docs, I stumbled across a section that revealed that one can global set the region rules given a file: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSSdkDocsNET/latest/V2/DeveloperGuide/net-dg-config-other.html#config-setting-awsendpointdefinition

Unfortunately, I couldn't find anywhere where the format of such a file is documented.

I then splunked through the AWSSDK.Core.dll code and found where the SDK loads the file (see LoadEndpointDefinitions() method at https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-net/blob/master/sdk/src/Core/RegionEndpoint.cs).

Reading through the code, if a file isn't explicitly specified on AWSConfigs.EndpointDefinition, it ultimately loads the file from an embedded resource (i.e. https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-net/blob/master/sdk/src/Core/endpoints.json)

I don't believe that it is. This list of common parameters (that can be used with all AWS PowerShell cmdlets) does not include a Service URL, it seems instead to opt for a simple string Region to set the Service URL based on a set of known regions.

This AWS .NET Development forum post suggests that you can set the Service URL on a .NET SDK config object, if you're interested in a possible alternative in PowerShell. Here's an example usage from that thread:

$config=New-Object Amazon.EC2.AmazonEC2Config
$config.ServiceURL = "https://ec2.us-west-1.amazonaws.com"
$client=[Amazon.AWSClientFactory]::CreateAmazonEC2Client($accessKeyID,$secretKeyID,$config)

It looks like you can use it with most config objects when setting up a client. Here's some examples that have the ServiceURL property. I would imagine that this is on most all AWS config objects:

Older versions of the documentation (for v1) noted that this property will be ignored if the RegionEndpoint is set. I'm not sure if this is still the case with v2.
