Hello,

I have prepared an introduction for using the Amazon (http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/) or Eucalyptus (http://open.eucalyptus.com/) cloud at http://wiki.debian.org/euca2ools. The example application is BOINC. The instructions describe how to prepare an image that continues for the FightAids@Home as soon as you start it up.

The instructions were meant as an instruction of the cloud command line tools, but they ended up to describe a sufficience amount of BOINC that these might be of interest for this community, too. I could imagine that such a virtual machine may be beneficial for developers to investigate bugs together - or just to increase your workforce at bit more. Frankly, I find BOINC to be an excellent way to get your compute application into the cloud. It could not be much easier.

Best,

Steffen
