Hi, I created simple tool that allows to configure small cluster.

It supports package installation, dependency resolving, versioning,  
process management, deployment automation.

And, it provides handy abstraction over SSH and SFTP. For example, You  
can copy project from local to remote by this command

```
project_dir = '~/my_app'.to_dir
remote_box = Box.new 'my_app.com' # it will use your id_rsa
deployment_dir = remote_box['/apps/my_apps']
project_dir.copy_to deployment_dir

```

and restart Thin by executing

```
deployment_dir.bash 'thin restart'

```

Here’s short article how to use it

New version, there are drivers for AWS S3 and SFTP available, and added  
examples for S3 backup.
