Bug 1395356

-What is the nature and description of the request?
Customer needs the ability to complete a targeted refresh of a VM via a methodology similar to the following:

aws_vm = $evm.vmdb(:vm).first
aws_vm.refresh

The refresh method kicks off a full EMS refresh, rather than a simple update to the individual VM.
  
-Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)
Changing instance attributes (e.g. instance_type) via the aws-sdk does not automatically update the instance.  The instance is stale for an extended period of time, so the customer does not have accurate insight into their infrastructure.
  
-How would the customer like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)
Change the .refresh method for MiqAeMethodService::MiqAeServiceManageIQ_Providers_Amazon_CloudManager_Vm class to implement a targeted refresh specific to that VM, rather than a full provider refresh.  A full provider refresh, in very large implementation, will prove to be problematic.
  
-For each functional requirement listed, specify how Red Hat and the customer can test to confirm the requirement is successfully implemented.
We can run our specific methods (such as changing a flavor), and run the new refresh method and see if it is updated correctly in the VMDB.
  
-Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat Bugzilla?
I have not found one.
  
-Does the customer have any specific timeline dependencies and which release would they like to target (i.e. RHEL5, RHEL6)?

Yes, sales in involved.  Part of next phase of consulting engagement.
