Create an EBS volume from an EBS snapshot

[natea]

It would be really useful to be able to create new EBS volumes from an existing EBS snapshot.

The aws.conf file could have something like this:

[instance:demo-server]
keypair = default
securitygroups = demo-server
region = eu-west-1
placement = eu-west-1a
image = ami-a62a01d2
snapshot = snap-2d8cd144 /dev/sdf
startup_script = startup-demo-server
fabfile = `fabfile.py`_

When you launch the instance demo-server, it would then create a new EBS volume from the snapshot "snap-2d8cd144" and attach it to the device /dev/sdf.

The info returned from the aws script would look something like this:
INFO: Instance running.
INFO: Instances DNS name ec2-184-73-240-104.compute-1.amazonaws.com
INFO: Instances public DNS name ec2-184-73-240-104.compute-1.amazonaws.com
INFO: Instances volume ID vol-58fc3031 created from snap-2d8cd144
