We're getting a bit off topic here, but CFEngine fits the one of your
requirements (but probably not the other). It is written in C, is quite
fast, and has a much lower resource footprint than anything based on
Ruby. However, it is probably not "simpler to learn" by a long shot.
Configuration management is deceptively complex once you get beyond the
"golden master" view of the world.

2) And the BioTeam integrates StarCluster with Opscode Chef, so you
can automate many of the administrative tasks (create users, package
management, service setup, etc) of EC2 SGE clusters:

While I have more experience with IBM Tivoli & Puppet, I am really
impressed with the Chef EC2 module. And Chef is gaining quite a lot of
momentum lately. E.g. Dell recently open sourced Crowbar, which is an
OpenStack installer based on Chef.
I will wait for Puppet Enterprise 2.0, which is supposed to have new
EC2 & VMware provisioning & orchestration capabilities, and see how
Puppet compares with Chef before I decide if I am switching to Chef.
But configuration management is real and it can cut down a lot of IT
infrastructure maintenance.

By FAR the best way to run standalone Grid Engine clusters on the Amazon
Cloud today is to simply use MIT Starcluster :

I didn't mention it as I got the impression that that wasn't the OP's
case, but probably it should be mentioned in the same place on
gridengine.info, assuming that's still the best place for such things.
