You mean you don't believe in making your own AMIs? I don't see how you could run an instance without an AMI.

I mean I don't believe in AMIs. You seem to think I'm an Amazon customer.

No. I'm an Amazon customer.

If you prefer some other IaaS, fine. The point is that fabric can drive both the virtualization API and the actual set up of servers over SSH. I have a fake region called "dev" that runs the build against a vmware image on my local machine. It could work with Softlayer or Joyent or Rackspace or CloudFoundry or whatever.

Fabric and an IaaS provider is a really nice way to implement the PheonixServer pattern.
