EC2 backend should detect systematic failures in spawning new VMs #424

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Currently, if a new VM cannot be started (e.g. no host can accommodate the 
requested flavor), the ec2 backend does simply recognize the error and 
terminate the VM. The next iteration will simply retry to spawn a new instance 
with the result that the cloud stack will be constantly stressed with failing 
VMs and requested to create new ones.

the EC2 backend should be able to recognize recurring failures when starting 
VMs and, for example, reject the next request to spawn a new one.
