Hi Moritz,
Thanks
for the details, let’s go through them …
=== Security Groups ===
The actions of the view allow to add/remove security groups, which are than shown in the list to the top of the view. Each
security group can than be selected to add and
remove entries in its permission list (context menu).
Are these security groups
specific for an AMI or a running
instance? In any
case, how about a properties page within the properties dialog? Of course a
view could do it as well … but you know we already have a lot of views.
=== Keypairs ===
You add/remove keypairs via the views actions.To add a keypair you choose a name
for the keypair and a local file to
save the generated private key to. This keypair is also the one you
specify in the launch dialog if you want
to login without a password.
This is clearly an authentication token, right?! So we should
implement it as such.
=== Elastiv IPs ===
In this view you can allocate an address. Allocating means to request a fixed ip from the EC2
infrastructure. This address can than be attached to a running EC2 instance. When the EC2 instance
is terminated the ip gets disassociated from the EC2 instance
but stays in the pool of assigned IPs (causing costs).
Also here I tend to use a
properties page. Nevertheless as you mentioned the pool of assigned IPs I would
rather see the IP as a grid resource. Maybe it would be possible to have a
resource category holding these IPs?
Just some guesses. Any
comments?
Mathias
