what to pass in for "domain"

[Sherry]

Hi,

function allocate_address (domain) in ec2.connection.EC2Connection asks to pass in domain. What should I specify the domain for a VPC EIP allocation?

Thanks!

OK, I passed 'vpc' to allocate_address('vpc') and it worked. It did allocate a EIP in the scope of vpc. But I only get the EIP as return value, how do I get allocation_id??

Thanks!

Hi -

It appears that the response from AllocateAddress is not different depending on whether you have allocated a VPC IP or not.  Boto has not yet been updated to accomodate these different responses.  I have created this ticket:

https://github.com/boto/boto/issues/1166

To track this issue.  Thanks!

Mitch

Sorry, that should read "is NOW different" not "is not different"

In looking at this further, it does appear that the code in the develop branch on github already supports this.  When allocating an address, you should get an Address object returned and that object has the attributes described here:

http://docs.pythonboto.org/en/latest/ref/ec2.html#module-boto.ec2.address

So you should be able to access the allocation_id attribute of that object to get the value you want.

What version of boto are you using?
