Right now we use this to deploy the user's war files to our AS instances. We ssh into the box and stop the deployment scanner, scp the file, then ssh back in and restart the deployment scanner. At some point we'll probably also want to setup SSH tunnels to some of the instances but don't immediately have a need for it. > Of course, this whole thing makes me a bit queasy, since we are deep > into stateful territory here; as long as API users understand that > each > of these calls may partially fail, it should be ok though. Stateful in what way? If you're referring to keypairs, we are prepared to pass that in on every call. Since keypairs are EC2-specific, what if the run_command expected an authentication token as a parameter and that value was interpreted appropriately via each driver? So, this would be the root password on Rackspace and the keypair on EC2. Ben
