Juju uses hard-coded regions

[Ben Howard]

Juju currently uses hard-code "ec2.<region>.amazonaws.com" which does not work with the new China region. Since Simple Stream provides end-points, Juju should use that instead.

Simple streams describes the region to EC2 endpoint mapping, but not S3 or any others. Ian has suggested that some cloud-metadata simple streams is being developed, so we will use that when it is ready. In the mean time, we'll add another hard-coded region in goamz.

Also, the endpoint in simplestreams appears to be wrong. It says amazonaws-cn.com.cn, it should be amazonaws.com.cn.

ideally the user can provide these... else its still hard coded. ie. where is govcloud? what if i use eucalyptus or some other aws compatible cloud.

[Andrew Wilkins (axwalk)]

@hazmat Indeed. When the simplestreams data is available, we'll use it. Govcloud is in cloud-images simplestreams already, so that'll be taken care of. We currently allow users to provider their own image and tools simplestreams data, so we could do the same thing for cloud metadata.
