Allow security tokens and profiles to be used as arguments
to the 'common' ec2 modules
Mostly refactoring to provide two new methods,
`get_aws_connection_info`, which results in a dict that can be
passed through to the boto `connect_to_region` calls, and
`connect_to_aws` that can pass that dict through to the
`connect_to_region` method of the appropriate module.
Tidied up some variable names
Works around boto/boto#2100
profiles don't work with boto < 2.24, but this detects for that
and fails with an appropriate message. It is designed to work
if profile is not passed but boto < 2.24 is installed.
Modifications to allow empty aws auth variables to be passed
(this is useful if wanting to have the keys as an optional
parameter in ec2 calls - if set, use this value, if not set,
use boto config or env variables)
Reworked validate_certs improvements to work with refactoring
Added documentation for profile and security_token to affected modules
When disabled, the boto connection will be instantiated without validating
the SSL certificate from the target endpoint. This allows the modules to connect
to Eucalyptus instances running with self-signed certs without errors.
Fixes#3978
Refactor the currently well-factored ec2 modules (i.e. those that already use ec2_connect) to
have a common argument spec. The idea is that new modules can use this spec without duplication
of code, and that new functionality can be added to the ec2 connection code (e.g. security
token argument)
This allows a volume to be cloned from a snapshot, a brand new
volume to be created, or an ephemeral volumes to be associated
at time of instance creation.
This avoids any race conditions associated with creating extra volumes
after instance creation (e.g. writes happening before the volume is
mounted).
In addition, this allows the root volume to be edited
This change adds assign_pubic_ip as a parameter to the ec2 module, ensuring that it is not set to one of BOOLEANS_TRUE if vpc_subnet_id is not also set, and if Boto is less than 2.13.0.
The code to determine the number of running instances could blow up
if the response from AWS did not actually contain any data. This code
makes it a bit smarter in handling, so that it will wait for a valid
response regardless of the wait condition.
Fixes#3980
