UPDATE: For those looking for Capistrano 2.0 support, check out Capazon 0.2.0
Just a quick note to announce Capazon 0.1.0, a Capistrano extension library to manage Amazon EC2 instances. If you are familiar with Capistrano and have an Amazon EC2 account, give it a whirl:
gem install capazon- Edit your your
config/deploy.rb:
require 'capazon'
\#AWS login info
set :aws_access_key_id, 'XXX'
set :aws_secret_access_key, 'X'
1. Name of the keypair used to spawn and connect to the Amazon EC2
Instance
2. Defaults to one created by the setup_keypair task
set :aws_keypair_name, "\#{application}-capazon"
<!-- -->
1. Path to the private key for the Amazon EC2 Instance mentioned above
2. Detaults to one created by setup_keypair task
set :aws_private_key_path,
"\#{Dir.pwd}/\#{aws_keypair_name}-key"
\#defaults to an ubuntu image
\#set :aws_ami_id, "ami-e4b6538d"
\#defaults to, um, default
\#set :aws_security_group, "default"$ cap describe_images

This release just scratches the surface of what I hope to accomplish with Capazon - my end goal is to provide a shared AMI as a companion to Capazon which will encapsulate some Rails deployment best practices.
Please report any bugs you may come across, and stay tuned for updates!
