The following review for Kilo deprecates the EC2 API in Nova - https://review.openstack.org/#/c/150929/
There are a number of reasons for this. The EC2 API has been slowly rotting in the Nova tree, never was highly tested, implements a substantially older version of what AWS has, and currently can't work with any recent releases of the boto library (due to implementing extremely old version of auth). This has given the misunderstanding that it's a first class supported feature in OpenStack, which it hasn't been in quite sometime. Deprecating honestly communicates where we stand. There is a new stackforge project which is getting some activity now - https://github.com/stackforge/ec2-api. The intent and hope is that is the path forward for the portion of the community that wants this feature, and that efforts will be focused there. Comments are welcomed, but we've attempted to get more people engaged to address these issues over the last 18 months, and never really had anyone step up. Without some real maintainers of this code in Nova (and tests somewhere in the community) it's really no longer viable. -Sean -- Sean Dague http://dague.net
