If you had attended our Cloud Computing with EC2 presentation by Chris, you may recall how
easy it is to develop and deploy services on Amazon Web Services platform.

One of the challenges with the services though is the plumbing required to setup and deploy services dynamically when
your server load goes up. If you need to setup MySQL, Tomcat, Apache and Terracotta to handle
additional server load, Cloud Tools is the solution you are looking for.

Cloud Tools is the opensource management solutions for AWS built on the Groovy platform. Check
it out at CloudTools. If you have a commerical application being ported to AWS and need  expertise

to manage or migrate your application,  Cloud Foundry can do it for you. Cloud Foundtry is the

company building the  Cloud Tools product.
