I’ve been using Capistrano for managing my EC2 tasks and think it is a
great way to work with EC2.
I’ve made a blog post about it here:
The scripts I used are included there if you are interested.
An example is how easy it makes it is to run an instance…
rake ec2:run id=ami-61a54008
A few minutes later, I’ll basically have a new server.
To login to my instance I type;
rake ec2:login
I’ve enjoyed using it and hope others will find it useful.
