I've had a fairly massive hack attack over the last couple of days on  
automating the instantiation and startup of a Terracotta EC2  
cluster.  Here's what I've been working on:

https://svn.terracotta.org/repo/forge/projects/labs/ec2utils/trunk

It's still kind of broken right now (the current problem is a NPE in  
TCPProxy that I'm using as a load balancer a la the spring webflow  
sample) and it's not done by any stretch of the imagination, but some  
of you (Geert, especially) have expressed interest in  working on  
this kind of thing.  Well... I've made my start.  It's still pretty  
experimental, and I'm amenable to throwing it all away and starting  
from scratch with new ideas.  But, I know a bit more about the issues  
involved now than I did when I started.

I documented some of the issues in FAQ.TXT and TODO.TXT, but I  
haven't fully documented the thing.  Also, there's no public AMI,  
yet.  There's a number of thorny things to work out (licensing and  
security, not the least) before we pull the trigger on that.

Anyway... fresh hot experimental ec2 goo, come and get it.
