Here's a scripted solution to do apparently the same thing that I ran across earlier this week: https://bitbucket.org/edowd/gentoo_bootstrap/src/045c4dbdb9c...

It looks like that sucker only runs if you have snapshots of the root disk to copy across regions.

The script we use in house uses netcat and a pair of running EC2 instances, one in each region.

All of the solutions I've seen, before this announcement, have had some serious limitations - so I'm rather happy to see this.
