Yeah, also that is is pretty much how CloudMan handles the infrastructure management now - it has it's own descriptor (i.e., template) and from there it handles all the provisioning and coordination of the underlying resources. Granted, having Amazon do it would add to the robustness of the overall system (especially because they seem to have also implemented a rollback option) but it would also tie Galaxy CloudMan to AWS even more. However, the intent is really to support other cloud infrastructure providers as more centers roll out their own cloud deployments...
