The EC2 SOAP API is deprecated. In 8 days that API will stop working.
So I'm guessing that route won't work out alas.

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/using-soap-api.html

The scale of these APIs is past the point where manually maintaining
clients is sane, so auto-generating them is definitely the way to go.
The AWS Go clients have some prior-art which might be a useful
starting point.

https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/blob/master/service/generate.go

All the new Azure clients are also going that way. You can see the
generators here:
