Description

Hi,

just tried to use EC2 from within the Foreman for the first time and found that it's quite cumbersome to use in its current form. Here's why:
  1. Images: One needs to specify an AMI id, but AMIs are updated every now and then, which requires an admin to update the image settings in Foreman also. Would be better to (have an option to) use a name pattern (would also be region agnostic) and select the newest one found
  2. Profiles: Some instance types are missing (t4g, for example), although they are available in the selected region
  3. Create Host: No way to set tags, add additional volumes, assign an elastic IP, enable termination protection, ...

No data to display
