terminate VM should timeout in case cloud infrastructure hangs #421

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
when terminating a VM, it may happen that the cloud infrastructure hangs in 
responding to vm.terminate()

probably the boto library boto.ec2.instance.termiante()
is a synchronous call

the ec2 backend should be able to timeout such hanging requests

maybe one could look into the 'dryrun' option in boto.ec2.instance.termiante()
