and pay for it ?!?
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could
just write one file
to do all that?
clouds.rb
cloud :twitterclone do

end
cloud :twitterclone do
instances 1..40
end
cloud :twitterclone do
instances 1..40
using :ec2
end
It’s just Ruby
cloud :twitterclone do
instances 1..40
using :ec2
has_file "/etc/motd" do
content "hello you"
end
end
Let’s go already!
