--constraints "root-disk=16384M" fails in EC2

[Ian Booth]

Hi Stein

This does appear to be a bug in Juju's constraints handling for EC2. 
I'd have to do an experiment to confirm, but certainly reading the code 
appears to show a problem.

Given how EC2 works, in that Juju asks for the specified root disk size 
when starting an instance, I don't have a workaround that I can think 
of to share with you.

The fix for this would be relatively simple to implement and so can be 
done in time for the next stable release (1.20) which is due in a few 
weeks. Alternatively, we hope to have a new development release out 
next week (1.19.3).  I'll try to get any fix done in time for that also.

I've raised bug 1324729 for this issue.
