  == Overview
  
  === Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)
  
  Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) is a web service that provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud. It is designed to make web-scale computing easier for developers. EC2 allows users to rent virtual computers on which to run their computer applications.
  
  It provides you with complete control of your computing resources and lets you run on the proven Amazon computing environment. Amazon EC2 reduces the time required to obtain and boot new server instances to minutes, allowing you to quickly scale capacity, both up and down, as your computing requirements change. You can create, launch, and terminate server instances as needed, paying by the hour for active servers. EC2 provides developers the tools to build failure resilient applications and isolate thems from common failure scenarios.
  
  Amazon EC2 presents a true virtual computing environment, allowing you to use web service interfaces to launch instances with a variety of operating systems, load them with your custom application environment, manage your network access permissions, and run your image using as many or few systems as you want.

  == {CD} integration to ec2 implementations
  
  This plugin uses the Amazon EC2 application programming interface (API) that lets developers choose where their applications physically run and that provides access to infrastructure resources. Using this secure API, your application is automatically scaled up and down as needed. This integration allows {CD} to manage EC2 resources.
  
  The plugin interacts with EC2 data by using PERL to perform the following tasks:
  
  * Create configurations with connection information.
  * Query for virtual machine and configuration information.
  * Perform actions on instances.
  * Make API Requests.
  * Create {CD} resources.
  
  The integration has two types of procedures to accomplish a specific task:
  
  * API procedures named _API_xxx_ that directly wrap an EC2 API call
  * Higher-level procedures named _EC2_xxx_ that combine many API calls
  
  The procedure that you select determines which fields are available.
  
  This plugin was developed and tested against Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2).
