Description: Many fields of are currently increasingly using on-demand cloud computing services like Amazon EC2 or Eucalyptus. We would like to make using Debian on those services as painless as possible.
Ubuntu has inaugurated the field by extending the ubuntu-specific vmbuilder for ec2 functionalities. The purpose of this project is to adapt, rewrite or extend those tools as necessary for the purposes of Debian.
