Tomaz Muraus commented on LIBCLOUD-104:
---------------------------------------
Yeah, that it is a know problem, thanks for reporting it though.
We need a better of way of handling all the operations which involve multiple
steps, possibly also adding support for retrying some action.
I think we already had open ticket with this problem with more details, but I
can't find it atm.
> EC2 driver automatic tag creation can fail
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LIBCLOUD-104
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD-104
> Project: Libcloud
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Compute
> Affects Versions: 0.5.2
> Reporter: David LaBissoniere
> Priority: Minor
>
> The EC2 driver automatically creates tags for new nodes in create_node().
> Rarely, this can fail with an InvalidInstanceID.NotFound error from EC2. This
> error bubbles up to the create_node caller and prevents the new node
> information from being returned.
> I've seen similar issues before on EC2 when doing a instance query right
> after a launch. The new node isn't always included in the result, perhaps due
> to some caching or data propagation issue. I suspect the same thing is
> happening in the tag creation API. Perhaps the ex_create_tags calls could be
> wrapped in a try/except with this error logged and ignored.
> Here is a stack trace:
> File
> "/home/cc/app-venv/lib/python2.6/site-packages/apache_libcloud-0.5.2-py2.6.egg/libcloud/
> compute/drivers/ec2.py", line 862, in create_node
> self.ex_create_tags(node=node, tags=tags)

> params=params.copy()).object File

> common/base.py", line 397, in request
> response = self.responseCls(self.connection.getresponse())
> File
> "/home/cc/app-venv/lib/python2.6/site-packages/apache_libcloud-0.5.2-py2.6.egg/libcloud/
> common/base.py", line 48, in __init__ raise Exception(self.parse_error())
> Exception: InvalidInstanceID.NotFound: The instance ID 'i-55c02c12' does not
> exist
> Note that the instance was in fact started.
> I also captured the libcloud request/response log and can provide that if
> needed.
