Since the YAML data format is a subset of JSON, it is trivial to convert
the former to the latter. This means that we can use YAML templates to
build cloudformation stacks, as long as we translate them before passing
them to the AWS API. I figure this could potentially be quite popular in
the Ansible world, since we already use so much YAML for our playbooks.
boto can throw SSLError when timeouts occur (among other SSL errors). Catch these so proper JSON can be returned, and also add the ability to retry the operation.
There's an open issue in boto for this: https://github.com/boto/boto/issues/2409
Here's a sample stacktrace that inspired me to work on this. I'm on 1.7, but there's no meaningful differences in the 1.8 release that would affect this. I've added line breaks to the trace for readability.

* Add python>= 2.6 to documented requirements when a module's deps need
python>= 2.6 so we know when a module can use python2.6+ syntax
* Remove BabyJSON usage
* Change modules to use if __name__ == '__main__' so that they can
potentially be unittested
The BabJSON changes Fixes#1211
By default docker-py uses latest version of Docker API. This is not
always desireable, and this patch adds option to specify version, that
should be used.
This module supports a few of the server actions that are easy to
initially impiment. Other actions require input and provide return
values in the API calls that will be more difficult to impliment, and
thus are not part of this initial commit.
Update instance_type description to feature up-to-date list of instance types. Matches format of 'ebs_optimized' param which also includes a link.
Update region description to feature up-to-date list of ec2 regions. Matches format of 'ebs_optimized' param which also includes a link.
Updated choices for monitoring param to be explicit bool matching default 'yes'.
Updated choices for source_dest_check to be explicit bool matching default 'true'.
Updated tenancy choices to remove redundant phrasing in comments.
