yup, that's the one.  I didn't look in detail at the three open requests, so I'm glad to hear that they're being watched.

As requested:
http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/COOK-2193 - Support for PIOPS
http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/COOK-2194 - Support for EBS Optimized instances

What cookbook are you referring to? Our Aws cookbook has three open pull requests. One was reviewed to be merged, one is a dupe that didn't have a CLA so a different one was merged and the third is a whitespace change but no ticket so we hadn't reviewed it yet. 

If there are additional features that would benefit the community we'd love to have them. Please open a ticket if one isn't already opened for piops.

We use the opscode AWS cookbook and added some piops stuff, but haven't upstreamed the changes.  (bad devops, bad!)  We're also using an older version of the aws cookbook, so our changes can't even apply to the current version, making it harder to upstream.  I'm sorry I can't give you a better answer, but yes, at least, we are using the opscode cookbook (and wish it would handle piops on its own).

Maybe this is another candidate for the orphaned cookbooks list?  It's got three outstandand pull requests, the oldest being 8 months old.

Are people still using Opscode's AWS cookbook, or is there a better one to use?

I'm looking to automate the creation of provisioned IOPS volumes and that cookbook doesn't seem to do that. Additionally it seems to use an old version of the right_aws Gem (and I'm not even sure if Rightscale is still officially maintaining that). [1]
