You might also be interested in https://github.com/mrzarquon/puppet-ec2tags, which exposes tags on an EC2 instance and uses the aws-sdk to do so. You could also use this as a basis for a separate module exposing other facts based on API calls. Their are a number of things like this available from the API but not from the metadata. I'm unsure whether these would be better as facts in the AWS module, or as separate modules (maybe with a dependency from the AWS module). My gut feeling is the later.
