I haven't looked at your code, so sorry if the answer to this question 
would have been obvious otherwise.  But.  Why isn't it sufficient to 
have the Deferred returned from start_instance (which already supports 
Deferred return values) just fire later, when some previous VMs have 
been shut down?
