Rudy 0.9.1 BETA - Not your grandparents’ EC2 development and  
deployment tool

Rudy is a development and deployment tool for Amazon EC2. It helps you  
build and maintain infrastructures in by organizing them into groups  
of zones, environments, and roles. By making it quick and easy to  
build infrastructures, Rudy makes it feasible to run environments only  
for the time that you need them.

See Getting Started for information on installing and configuration  
Rudy:
