cloudmock is a mock implementation of the AWS APIs.

The goal is to let us test code that interacts with the AWS APIs, without creating actual AWS resources.

While no resources are created, we maintain state so that (for example) after you call CreateVpc, a subsequent call to DescribeVpcs will return that VPC. The end-goal is that we simulate the AWS APIs accurately, so that we can quickly run test-cases that might otherwise require a lot of time or money to run with real AWS resources.

In future, we can also do fault injection etc.

Note: The AWS API is very large, and most of it is not implemented. Functions that are implemented may not be implemented correctly, particularly around edge-cases (such as error handling).

Typical use: c := &mockec2.MockEC2{}. MockEC2 implements the EC2 API interface ec2iface.EC2API, so can be used where otherwise you would use a real EC2 client.
