---------------------------------
Looks good.
Nits: lots of whitespace changes; "Wether" should be "Whether".

> Whirr can fail to completely start a cluster and indicates this with a
> non-zero return code. In many (currently intermittent) partial failure
> scenarios, there are resources still active (EC2 machine instances, in my
> experience) that are not cleaned up.
> The log contains "IOException: Too many instance failed while bootstrapping!"
> when I have seen orphaned nodes.
> A non-zero return code should guarantee that all resources are cleaned up.
> Without this post-condition, these failures require manual inspection and
> cleanup to stop useless expenses (which is why I marked this bug critical; it
> needs to be addressed for any kind of cron job triggered whirr).
