Currently the stack manager does not report the result of the tasks it executes.

Ideally would like a implementation that task creator could query and wait for the result.

when using mco commands - it doesn't provide results of the request.

Suggest the instances get set to standby status before stopping aem.

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/autoscaling/latest/userguide/as-enter-exit-standby.html

this could also effect the publish dispatcher pair when we stop aem on the publish instance.

For consistency with other libraries and for better clarity, need to rename promote-author to promote-author-standby-to-master .

currently the offline snapshot will not run when the author-standby has been promoted:

it will be identified as not healthy.

https://github.com/shinesolutions/aem-stack-manager/blob/master/src/main/java/com/shinesolutions/aemstackmanager/handler/OfflineSnapshotTaskHandler.java#L58

scenarios: taking offline snapshots after promote author event. when old primary still responding and when it is not responding. currently the stack manger will not run the job. (consider changing component to author-demoted and adjust offline snapshot flow to handle the situation where there are no author-standby, or only 1 author-primary or 1 author-primary and 1 author-demoted)

The export package job is limited to 300 characters by mco.

The mco application failed to run, use -v for full error backtrace details: Cannot validate input cmd: Input string is longer than 300 character(s)

Need to be able to run on-demand package export via a descriptor file.
