Capistrano + Amazon EC2 == Rapid Rails Deployment

Steve Odom writes about how he uses Capistrano and Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud to deploy a Rails application to a fresh server within minutes. He includes the scripts and techniques he uses.

This article makes me think of the possibilities of using Pound and perhaps even a database outside of EC2 and then seamlessly deploying Rails instances within EC2 and letting Pound do the balancing. The infrastructure problem is getting easier every day it seems.
