Ramesh A commented on DTACLOUD-105:
-----------------------------------
Applied the latest patch and performed a sanity testing against this patch.
Below are the observations.
Sanity Testing Observations:
======================
1. Opening the url after the installation, i.e, say http://localhost:3001/api
displays the following ec2@default(default choice being the us-east-1 though)
and below displays available options of the EC2 regions as shown in the
Dcloud-API.png
2. Once an region is selected(by clicking on the link), the url changes
respectively(eg: http://localhost:3003/api;provider=us-west-1) and the modules
display corresponding information related to that region(realms, images,
instances, etc).
3. Also, once the selection is done, application displays the highlights the
region in the UI, i.e., eg: ec2@default changes to ec2@us-west-1
To Improve:
=========
Links are barely separated, seems like its a single link unless the mouse
click.
Spaces between them would differentiate them properly or a drop down would make
more sense.
Refer the Dcloud-API.png for more information
This is the first impression on the implementation after the sanity testing
> Deltacloud API should have provision for changing the regions for EC2, so
> that user will be able to choose different regions, availability zones and
> launch AMI's which are specific to those region.

> Project: DeltaCloud
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Client (Ruby)
> Environment: Deltacloud API 0.4.1

> Deltacloud API should have provision for changing the regions for EC2, so
> that user will be able to choose different regions, availability zones and
> launch AMI's which are specific to those region.
> Current Implementation:
> ==================
> When a user wants to start an AMI via Deltacloud API, he is prompted with the
> AMI's/ availability zones, which are specific to "Amazon EC2 (US East - N.
> Virginia)" region i.e., us-east-1a, us-east-1b, us-east-1d.
> Proposed Implementation:
> ===================
> User should be given an option of selecting different regions, availability
> zones and list AMI's which are specific to the selected regions.
> This gives the following option for an user:
> 1. To list the AMI's which are available at different regions
> 2. Launching AMI in different regions
> PS:
> ===
> Current implementation allows us to fulfill these criteria by changing the
> URL manually(not an user friendly way) and specifying the providers details.
> e.g.,
> http://localhost:3001/api;provider=eu-west-1/images
> http://localhost:3001/api;provider=eu-west-1/realms
