Lol yeah, why I guess I run some ec2 instances, drop some cassandra deb packages on 'em - the thing will figure out how to run...
Also, how would you get "initial state of the cluster" if the cluster... is being initialized? Or that's easy, according to the docs - just hardcode some seed IPs into each node, lol It's all kinda funny, but in a sad way.
