There are a number of reasons for this. The EC2 API has been slowly<br>
rotting in the Nova tree, never was highly tested, implements a<br>
substantially older version of what AWS has, and currently can't work<br>
with any recent releases of the boto library (due to implementing<br>
extremely old version of auth). This has given the misunderstanding that<br>
it's a first class supported feature in OpenStack, which it hasn't been<br>
in quite sometime. Deprecating honestly communicates where we stand.<br>
<br>
There is a new stackforge project which is getting some activity now -<br>
<a href="https://github.com/stackforge/ec2-api" target="_blank">https://github.com/stackforge/ec2-api</a>. The intent and hope is that is<br>
the path forward for the portion of the community that wants this<br>
feature, and that efforts will be focused there.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>FYI: <a href="http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-January/055041.html">http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-January/055041.html</a></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">

Comments are welcomed, but we've attempted to get more people engaged to<br>
address these issues over the last 18 months, and never really had<br>
anyone step up. Without some real maintainers of this code in Nova (and<br>
tests somewhere in the community) it's really no longer viable.<br>
