The Future is Now: Leveraging the Cloud with Ruby

Great presentation Robert, There is one resource I feel I should mention (shameless plug time!) - our service Elastic Server at http://elasticserver.com offers a way for you to build your software stack and download as a virtualized image or deploy to multiple clouds. Build once, deploy many. Forget about the pain of rolling EC2 images by hand, you just click on the components you want and dynamically assemble an image. Would love your feedback. And of course, the web portion of it is built in RoR :-)

Hi Yan,

I'm glad you liked the presentation. I checked out Elastic Server and it is very cool. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that your licensing didn't allow for someone signed up for the community edition to run commercial versions of the elastic servers created. Am I misunderstanding? Thanks for clarifying.
