We started looking at this as some our customers/partners were interested
in get AWS API compatibility. We have this blueprint and code review
pending for long time now. We will know based on this thread wether the
community is interested. But I assumed that community was interested as the
blueprint was approved and code review has no -1(s) for long time now.

In my mind AWS compatible API does not need new openstack model. As more
discussion happen on JC's proposal and implementation becomes clear we will
know how incremental is the path. But at high level there two major
differences
1. New first class object will be introduced which effect all components
2. more than one project can be supported within VPC.
But it does not change AWS API(s). So even in JC(s) model if you want AWS
API then we will have to keep VPC to project mapping 1:1, since the API
will not take both VPC ID and project ID.

As more users want to migrate from AWS or IaaS providers who want compete
with AWS should be interested in this compatibility.

There also seems to be terminology issue here Whats is definition of "VPC"
if we assume what AWS implements is "VPC"
then what JC is proposing "VOS" or "VDC" (virtual openstack or virtual DC)
as all or most of current openstack features are available to user in  this
new Abstraction. I actually like this new abstraction.
