[ANN] Rudy 0.9 Released

[Delano Mandelbaum]

Rudy 0.9.1 BETA - Not your grandparents' EC2 development and
deployment tool

Rudy is a development and deployment tool for Amazon Web Services. It
helps you build and maintain infrastructures in EC2 by organizing them
into groups of _zones_, _environments_, and _roles_. By making it
quick and easy to build infrastructures, Rudy makes it feasible to run
environments only for the time that you need them.

env :stage do # Define an environment

end

end
