ELB in VPC is not supported in this version of API

[jslusher]

I'm trying to add instances to an ELB, but it doesn't seem to work in a VPC.

Confirmation I'm trying to deploy and having the same problem. May need to work around with installing command line packages for your distro and use execute command until this is resolved, but it is messy.

The right_aws gem is woefully out of date. This issue was registered two years ago: flexera-public/right_aws#146

The last closed pull request was nearly a year ago (December 2013). May be time to replace right_aws with fog.

I would love this to be moved to using the aws-sdk gem since it is the officially supported gem from Amazon. I just havent had time to do the porting.

Forked to play with replacing right_aws gem with aws-sdk or fog:
Using aws-sdk: https://github.com/heph/aws/tree/aws-sdk_gem
Using fog: https://github.com/heph/aws/tree/fog_gem

Both cases require installing nokogiri as a dependency, which means pulling in build-essential, and installing some package prereqs (libxslt-dev and libxml2-dev), immediately making this less appealing.

May be less ugly if we make the xml cookbook a prereq and install nokogiri with xml::ruby (https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/xml/blob/master/recipes/ruby.rb). That doesn't avoid the build-essential dependency, but it means someone else is handling the cross-platform libxslt/libxml2 package names.

Wanted your feedback on that before I continued working on the port.

@heph Thanks for starting the work! Hmmmm, nothing about that sounds delightful. I would be interested to hear what @cheeseplus thinks.

I just submitted PR #96 which replaces right_as with aws-sdk v2, which does not appear to depend on nokogiri.

@ubiquitousthey Great find, checking the PR now :-D

Just wanted to give you all an update here, since v2.6.0 of the aws cookbook, it is now using the aws-sdk gem, which does support ELBs in a VPC. I had written my own snippet to allow me to do this, but now that they're using the aws-sdk gem, I pulled out my version, and it works with the aws_elastic_lb provider.

This should be resolved as we cutover to the official AWS gem.
