Implement a new GC3Pie command to manage instances created by an EC2 backend #396

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The current EC2 backend is able to create instances on a cloud and also 
terminate them, but termination happen only when a `free()` method is called 
for an application which is running on a VM which is not used by any other job.

This introduces the possibility that a VM is created by a script which never 
calls the `free()` method, maybe because the script is killed and the session 
abruptly removed with `rm -r` instead of calling `gsession abort/delete` 
command.

We need a new gc3pie command that may be used by an user to check if some stale 
VM instance has been left running on an EC2 resource, and terminate it if 
necessary.
