@grkvlt @aledsage @neykov love this direction - i assume this
`LocationEntity` proxies the child?
i was thinking a similar but more generic pattern
```
- type: context-sensitive-proxying-parent
switch:
01-aws:
condition:
regex-match: [ $brooklyn:location(), ".*aws-ec2" ]
spec:
type: aws-load-balancer
05-default:
spec:
type: nginx
```
not exactly sure how we want to do:
* the location reference in the DSL
* expressing conditions in this entity
* the actual condition test
feels like a `subtype-of` with `jclouds:aws-ec2` and
`jclouds:aws-ec2:us-west-1` recognised as types, and maybe using typed
relations to find the actual location (`$brooklyn:relation("in-location")`) ..
but that's in the future, something pragmatic like what we have here makes
sense for now (though haven't reviewed code)
