Title:
  EC2 API does not support filters

Status in ec2-api:
  Fix Released
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Each AWS describe operation has common and some custom filter
  parameters to filter result set by various object attributes. But Nova
  EC2 supports filters by object ids only.

  I found similar ancient bug
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/734912, but it's closed with
  'invalid' resolution. As i understand it refers to a blueprint which
  proposes to implement this feature by enhancement of native Nova
  filter capability. But there was no activity in this blueprint for the
  last 3 years.

  I believe we could implement EC2 filters in EC2 layer mostly, using
  the existing filtering capabilities of OS services (Nova, Glance,
  Cinder). If insufficient performance of filtering operation by some
  attribute will be found later, we will optimize it by moving filtering
  by this attribute to an appropriate OS service.
