[ClusterLabs] [Linux-HA] fence_ec2 agent

Hi Kazuhiko, Dejan,

the new resource agent is very good. Since there were a couple of days between my original question and the answer from
Kazuhiko, I also have written a stonith agent proof of concept (attached to this email) in order to continue in my
project. However, I think that your fence_ec2 agent is better from a development perspective and it doesn't make sense
to have two different agents for the same use case.

Nevertheless, I've implemented an idea, that is very useful in EC2 environments with clusters that have more than two
nodes: All EC2 instances that belong to a cluster get a unique cluster name via an EC2 instance tag. The agent uses this
tag to determine all cluster nodes that belong to his own cluster

--- SNIP ---
    gethosts)
        # List of hostnames of this cluster
        init_agent
        ec2-describe-instances --filter "tag-key=Clustername" --filter "tag-value=$clustername" | grep "^TAG" |grep
"Hostname" | awk '{ print $5 }' | sort -u
--- SNIP ---

The advantage of this method is, that you just need one configuration snippet for all nodes. This allows to dynamically
add or remove EC2 instances / cluster nodes to/from a cluster without having to need to touch the cluster configuration.
Dynamically adding or removing nodes (compute instances) is a very common scenario in a cloud.

Would it be possible, to implement this idea as an additional configuration method to the fence_ec2 agent?

Cheers,
Markus

Hi Dejan

Thank you for add it and the fix some issues !

I confirmed that it works fine in my AWS environment :)
