This is a set of scripts for managing ElectroServer instances on Amazon EC2
The scripts will launch an Ubuntu AMI without any dependencies installed. It utilizes the user-data feature of the alestic AMI's to send a shell script as part of the AMI boot that downloads code from this project and sets up the system. The AMIs that alestic builds are perfect for use with these scripts.
create-bootstrap-archives.rb will package the bootstrap directory up and upload it to your deployment host (by default its on dev.electrotank.com) for retrieval by the startup script
setup_es4_instance.rb is the script that will launch the instances. passing --help will cause it to describe its command-line parameters.
