Description

Today I notice that some of our VMs were not retrieve by our internal toolings. After some investigation it seems that libcloud "list_nodes()" method on google can only retrieve max 500VMs:

 

[root@stackviewer-5cbcd8695-x964t /]# grep -o Vm response.log | wc -l
500

 

when we have in reality around 750 VMs. So i had a quick look and my first guess is that it comes from the call made by liblcoud using this REST API:

https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/rest/v1/instances/aggregatedList

with an optional argument "maxResults" that has a default value of 500 (which seems also to be the max value BTW). I think i m on the good lead due to this 500 limit mentioned in the doc and also observe on my side.

I will have a deeper look but just quickly open this ticket in case other people already saw this limit
