Hi Moritz,
Just to give some initial
comments to start a discussion here …

(allows login into a EC2 instance

by creating produce a pk file
I suspect with keypair management you mean
the remote management of registered
keypairs for your EC2 instances,
right? It would be nice to have a more detailed description here about what you
mean. Nevertheless I think we can manage
this with context menu entries for the instances
in combination with enhanced
functionality of the auth token view, so I currently do not see any need for yet another
view.
> - Security Management
(think firewall)
> Security groups are created/deleted and rules are added to this group (open port 80 for
ip 1.2.3.4)
Also here I am not completely
sure about you are talking, more details please, we are not experts for EC2. Nevertheless
I know that Ganymede itself will be
shipped with new functionality concerning security management.
I do not know if your use case may fit in there, but it may be worth to have a
look at this.
> - Elastic IPs (attached IP address which survives an instance
restart)
> fixed ips are added to running instances
Where do these IPs come
from? How are they attached to the instance?
Isn’t something like a context menu enough here? Maybe also an extended launch configuration with another tab “Elastic IPs” would be useful here?
Cheers, Mathias
