Thank you Randy, you've summed up what I explained in the other thread.

Yes I promise to keep up a good work as EC2 PTL in the next cycle if I'm

Best regards,
   Alex Levine

We are small and recently focused on working with the RefStack team on adding new capabilities to RefStack and new tests to Tempest to create a way to test for EC2 API interoperability and compatibility.  While this isn't work on the EC2 APIs themselves, it is adjacent and important for their uptake, usage, and evaluation, particularly by teams who want to integrate them into their products.
