Change EC2 Provider to support AWS separately so that AWS endpoints are not
hard coded
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: LIBCLOUD-108
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD-108
Project: Libcloud
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Compute
Affects Versions: 0.6.0
Reporter: Rick Bross
Priority: Minor
Currently, calling AWS endpoints requires that a provider be selected by
region. Based on the provider chosen (for example Provider.EC2_US_WEST,
EC2_US_EAST, etc), the internal code creates the endpoint. Since Amazon
constructs the endpoints in a well know fashion:
https://ec2.{region}.amazonaws.com
It makes more sense to create a Provider for AWS that simply takes the region
as a parameter and constructs the endpoint on the fly. That way, if libcloud
is deployed as the base for other software, the entire suite does not have to
be updated when Amazon adds a new region.
Currently, I use Provider.EUCALYPTUS for AWS endpoints by constructing the the
URL myself based on the region before calling libcloud to accomplish this.
