Looks like a great start, that's sth I've been waiting for a long time.

It would be great if it supports adding more instances (dynos?), balanced through ELB. And... worker instances. And... Some configuration management.

The potential is huge!

For what it's worth, there is a complementary (early stage) project a colleague of mine is working on where the idea is to let you leverage cloud formation from the command line and get closer to what you're talking about (deployment of a more complex infrastructure rather than just a single instance):

This looks nice. I'm currently in the process of creating a deployment script to cluster out wowza media server with a edge/origin setup ,auto scaling and loadbalancer setup. Really wish beanstalk was less error prone and worked 100% of the time.BTW does anyone know if beanstalk supports paid Ami's ?

Why not just EBS at that point?

[lloydhilaiel]

Ack! Acronym collision! EBS is Elastic Beanstalk, or Elastic Block Store?

If the former, it's in my opinion a question of what you're looking for. Here's my best response: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2013/05/introducing-awsbox-the-diy...

Could you expand?
