Description

Both `node.extra['status']` and `node.state` report old information. I've confirmed (through the web interface) that my AWS EC2 instance has started + has status-checks up and running.

However, even after 10 minutes the node status hasn't changed.

How should I proceed?

Thanks for all suggestions.

PS: Here's a snippet from my wrapper:

    # `node` is instantiated by `.create_node` method of `libcloud.compute.types.Provider` (actually: `libcloud.compute.drivers.ec2`, probably: `BaseEC2NodeDriver.create_node`)
    threshold = 60
    print 'Waiting [up to] 10 minutes for node to come online'
    PENDING = 3  # Where do I find the enum?!
    while threshold and self.node.state == PENDING:
        sleep(10)
        threshold -= 1
        print 'Waiting another:', threshold * 10, 'seconds. Status is:', self.node.extra['status']
    if self.node.state != PENDING:
        print 'self.node.state =', self.node.state, "self.node.extra['status'] =", self.node.extra['status']
        return self.node
