Hi Vijayendra, As Suresh as mentioned what you are suggesting is something different to what is described in AIRAVATA-345. I think you can create a new jira and provide your suggestions there.
I have gone through your suggestions and what you have done is a description of features of ElasticFox. I think you should first run through the tutorial provided in [1] and see how Airavata can be used to run a job in Amazon EC2. Then you could suggest how this can be improved to have it as a plugin. Furthermore, we have a component to do EC2 instance management [2] as well. This does not give the full set of features exposed by ElasticFox but it will be sufficient for a Airavata user. I hope that I answered your questions. Please, don't hesitate to ask questions if you have any doubts.
