Unfortunately, neither Eucalpytus or OpenStack support 'tags' in the EC2
api. That wouldn't solve the entire problem, but it's the right way to do
part of it.

I bring this up not just to be annoying :) but wanted to make sure you're
aware of it when designing anything. (I think practically that means: store
things as key value pair per resource, and try to keep below Amazon's
arbitrary limit of 10 tags per resource.)
