Hello,
I am currently working with the EC2 provider and a ruby client (thanks for the link to the documentation by the way). There are several issues I would like to discuss. 1.) I find it really hard to use rdoc to make a sense of what I have to do. For example: If I like to create a new instance, I need to select a hardware profile. My understanding is, that I need to look at the source of http://rdoc.info/gems/deltacloud-core/Deltacloud/Drivers/Ec2/Ec2Driver#create_instance-instance_method to understand which opts{} are supported. Also I am not sure whether hwp_id is generic for all providers or specific to EC2. Is there any kind overview for standard opts that are supported everywhere? 2.) From looking at the above source I can't figure out how to associate a firewall (which matches a security group in EC2, right?) with the instance at creation time. I am not very firm in ruby, so all I understand is that this line firewalls = opts . inject ( [ ] ) { | res , ( k , v ) | res << v if k =~ / firewalls\d+$ / ; res } creates a collection of firewall ids. But where do they come from? 3.) Is there a reason to why an EC2 instance name is always the ami-id, even if there is a name tag pinned to the instance? Those tags might be specific to EC2 but a tag, if present, in my eyes is more informative than just the ami-id (which is not unique at all). 4.) Why is there no state TERMINATED? All terminated instances are shown as STOPPED through deltacloud. 5.) An EC2 instance has the state running, even if it is still initializing (shown in the aws console). There the instance is not accessible during that period. 6.) If I a terminate an instance, I get this error: /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/deltacloud-client-1.1.3/lib/deltacloud/error_response.rb:60:in `block in call': Method Not Allowed (Deltacloud::Client::InvalidState) from /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/faraday-0.8.8/lib/faraday/response.rb:63:in `on_complete' from /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/deltacloud-client-1.1.3/lib/deltacloud/error_response.rb:52:in `call' from /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/faraday-0.8.8/lib/faraday/request/url_encoded.rb:14:in `call' from -------Deltacloud API backtrace------- I call client.destroy_instance(instance_id) with a correct id. Afterwards, the instance is marked as TERMINATED in the AWS console. I really like deltacloud, especially the CIMI support. Thanks for all this effort so far.
