Yeah in EC2 driver creating a node actually results in two HTTP requests: 1. create a server 2. add a tag with key 'name' to the server
Occasionally #2 fails. You could solve this problem by wrapping your create_node call in try / except block and when a tag creation exception is thrown try to re-create a tag with a key 'name' and a value kwargs['name'].
