roadmap for cloud modules

EC2 has far more modules than gce despite their having many similar offerings.

I am considering writing a few modules for gce such as quotas and image create/delete. I’m wondering if there is a good way to know if these are already in the works by someone else.

Perhaps a roadmap for each cloud provider would be useful so that we don’t duplicate efforts and and to promote some collaboration. It certainly seems like there have been numerous duplicate efforts on the vsphere modules and often they don’t make it to completion.

Thoughts on this? Anyone actively developing gce modules at the moment.

Also, I noticed neither aws nor gce have a user/group managment module. I’d like to leverage the cloud hosts’ user management for quotas and acls, rather than just the existing ansible linux user/group modules. Is there a reason for this, or has it just not happened yet?

There’s no formal roadmap – most likely if you don’t see a pull request for something it’s likely not in work.

Ask if you have specific questions about a specific feature for a cloud provider for sure, though, that’s a good thing to do.

I do know of some EC2 IAM role/group stuff in progress.
