ec2metadata service does not include 2011-01-01

This is still the same in

and trunk.

Is there a huge different between 2011-01-01 and 2009-04-04 in terms of support ? Otherwise, it's trivial to add this URL to paste.

OK, so it's a ~7700 line diff between 2011-01-01 and 2009-04-04

There's some new stuff in there, like types, min/max occurances, new elements ... I don't think OpenStack can claim to support this version of the API without a bunch of verification. At a quick glance, there's also some code in trunk nova/api/ec2/cloud.py for this version of the API that wouldn't be in 2009-04-04 ...

You can get WSDLs from:

Hm...
   I think from your comment on "7700 line diff" that you're
misunderstanding this bug. The bug is that there is no entry in the EC2
metadata service, not the EC2 api.

   The versions listed "supported" by nova are already not complete.

These explain the EC2 api, not the metadata service. Unfortunately, to my
knowledge the metadata service is mostly undocumented.

All that said, I'm working on the MD code right now for config-drive work,
so I might make an effort at this.

Scott -- did you get anywhere with this one?

Michael, I never did more than open the bug. but here is some more data, including a "boto.utils.get_instance_metadata()' dump of a instance from today.

Looking at the more recent EC2 versions, we seem to be missing values for:

mac
metrics
network
profile

Which doesn't seem too bad.

This wishlist bug has been open a year without any activity. I'm going to move it to "Opinion / Wishlist", which is an easily-obtainable queue of older requests that have come on. This bug can be reopened (set back to "New") if someone decides to work on this.
