[StarCluster] VPC / security group / description

[Jassin Meknassi]

Hi ,

this is in reply to @*rayrayson <https://github.com/rayrayson> *for issue
https://github.com/jtriley/StarCluster/issues/21.

@rayrayson : first thanks for the long description.
Instead of using IPsec to setup a vpc i usually just go with a open vpn
site to site 3 solution
I started a fork to add the vpc functionality.  As you mentioned i failed
to create the security group since description and name are limited to the
following [A-Za-z0-9]:
     no big deal for the name : just remove the @ in the static.py
unfortunately the description pickles the ClusterManger and fails on the
255 character's limit+ [A-Za-z0-9] allowed char's:
InvalidParameterValue: Invalid security group description. Valid
descriptions are limited to 255 characters. Only alphanumeric characters
(a-z, A-Z, 0-9), dash(-), underscore(_) and empty spaces are allowed .
you mentioned that Justin is working on a solution. I wanted to ask if
there's a branch i should look @. IF there is none where could i save the
pickle dump?

thanks for helping
