euca2ools provide a set of commands to communicate with the cloud. All these commands require you to authenticate and this is done by sourcing novarc file as detailed in the chapter on "Installation & Configuration"

Most of the euca2ools command line utilities work with OpenStack, just as they work with EC2 of AWS. There may be some differences due to some of the functionality that is yet to be implemented in OpenStack. Help is available for each of these commands with the switch --help.
