This has been a discussion point for a while. The (mostly generated)
code for the AWS api bridge is by far the largest source component in
Cloudstack, while seldomly used.
Now that alternate options exist to provide EC2 compatibility, it
makes sense to remove it for the few users who cannot directly
talk to the cloudstack API.
This is a feature to handle DNS entries by means of an external DNS Provider,
such as Bind. These entries include DNS domains and reverse domains, VM records
and reverse records.
For a complete description, please refer to the design document available at
