I've been doing a little bit of POC work on foreman 1.11 with EC2 (not bothered moving to 1.12 for this POC as it's not really version specific).
when building/modifying a host the EC2 compute plugin pulls a list of subnets assigned to the account/compute resource associated to the foreman compute resource target. this is nice and simple to use, however some recent experience of what is in essence quite a small AWS estate, 6 VPCs, at 9 subnets each, this become quite scappy as the list of 54 IP subnets, totally out of any order was presented to the support team and without any meaningful information about the subnets removed some of the ease and management selling points that using foreman for the project been built on. In the POC I started looking at the ability to pull not only the IP CIDR blocks but the comment field associated with the CIDR blocks. My initial tests look like it's possible to get the info, and I'd imagine it's not too hard to create a second display box next to the IP list to list the comments, or include a second field in the single box, but I'm nowhere near that yet I thought I'd open up a short discussion (hopefully) about this as a feature request and see if there is anything I've not considered implication wise or anything I'd not seen the bigger picture on before raising the feature request and looking to work on it and gather some people to work on it. I'm currently looking at foreman for a much bigger EC2 deployment, which will have many more subnets and without something human readable it will be a much harder sell to use going forward. thoughts ?
