Hi,

there are some people who would like to be able to launch instances into
a specific subnet attached to their VPC in EC2. In looking at how to do
this without going down the rathole of supporting everything related to
VPC's, this is the plan I've come up with.

The assumption is that users will set up VPC's and subnets outside of
DC. Once they have subnets, they will show up as realms with the EC2
driver. IOW, GET /realms will not only list availability zones like
us-east-1a, but also subnets in those AZ's, i.e. realms that will be
named something like us-east-1c:subnet-deadbeef; when launching an
instance into such a realm, the create_instance call will pass the
subnetID to AWS' RunInstances, rather than an AZ.

any objections to this ?

David
