I'm new to ansible, noticed there is a module for ec2, but no module for libcloud ([http://libcloud.apache.org/](http://libcloud.apache.org/)). Anybody looked at libcloud, or working on it? Any reason why not?

Thanks

The reason is almost always that no one needed it yet.

Something very similar in workings to the ec2 module in core would be welcome.

No reason why not. That sounds like a good module to work on. If you're willing to do so - I think it would be happily accepted.
