I am sceptical of the external proxy approach as there is a lot of
state to maintain (uuid to id mappings for example) which is hard to
do right in a proxy. I like the idea of the AWS APIs being secondary
APIs within nova. However, its fair to say that there hasn't been much
work done on them recently.
