             Summary: list_images needs an imageid filter
                 Key: LIBCLOUD-294
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD-294
             Project: Libcloud
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Compute
    Affects Versions: 0.11.2
         Environment: Problem has been noticed by several users running 
salt-cloud, across CentOS 6.3, Ubuntu 12.10 and the current Arch Linux. Issue 
is EC2-specific.
            Reporter: Joseph Hall
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 0.11.2


The list_images() function has no way to pass a list of images to EC2's 
DescribeImages Action. This means that DescribeImages will always return every 
image that EC2 knows about, which numbers in the several hundreds. In 
salt-cloud, this causes the CPU and memory to get pegged every time this call 
is made:

After patching it in my local copy of the repo, I discovered that a pull req 
had already been submitted which does a much better job at fixing the issue 
than I did:

https://github.com/apache/libcloud/pull/77

If that pull req were to be merged, it would help out a lot.
