Subject: [PATCH] Remove EC2 instance tagging and load balancer registering.
Date: Thu,  9 Jun 2011 15:41:07 -0400
Message-Id: <1307648467-11920-1-git-send-email-clalance@redhat.com>

During an EC2 create_instance call, two optional things
might be done; tagging the instance with the name provided,
and registering the new instance with a loadbalancer.

Unfortunately, there is a big problem with this; the instance
ID does not always exist immediately after the ec2.launch_instances
call returns.  This seems to be a generic problem with EC2,
as I've run into it several times.

Because of this, we *cannot* tag the instance or register
the instance with the load balancer right within the create_instance
call, since we can't be sure the instance ID yet exists.
Luckily, the loss of either function shouldn't be that huge;
the name can never be retrieved (since there is no generic tag
support), and you can always register an instance with a load
balancer later.

Therefore, totally remove these operations from create.  Not
only does this make create_instance more reliable, it restores
the "one deltacloud API -> one cloud backend call" semantic
that we try to preserve.
