-------------------------------------
Summary: EC2 Create Node Size String
Key: LIBCLOUD-1018
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD-1018
Project: Libcloud
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Sean Marlow
Right now create_node in the EC2 driver requires instance size to be in a
static list in order for a node to be created.
Given the almost constant influx of new instance types in EC2 and the
relatively slow release cycle of Libcloud it would be nice to remove this
requirement.
Maintaining the list in Libcloud is nice but it shouldn't block users from
launching an instance with a new instance type.
Instead I believe the method should also accept a size string which gets passed
directly to EC2 REST endpoints. Let EC2 raise an exception if an invalid
instance type is provided.
I can provide a patch if this is agreeable?
