To use the EC2 service with * [[Buildbot, there needs to be some way for Buildbot to dynamically generate a list of build slaves. These build slaves (or just slaves) are hosted as a virtual machine on the and EC2 service/0. 1]]

Probably the best way to do this is to extend the BuildSlave class, * [[Buildbot and make a new class called EC2BuildSlaveEC2/0. 2]]

Theres a couple good reasons for extending this class. One big one I can think about is that the new class will have a different way of disconnecting, where it will have to send a command to the * [[Buildbot and EC2 service to shut the instance down (thats if it's not being used by some other build master)/0.3]]

Making this new slave class will also be a much neater way to implement this new functionality, instead of having functions just randomly * [[Buildbot and haphazardly placed all overEC2/0.4]]

Lots more research * [[Buildbot and code reviewing is still on the horizon for this project, but this release should be ready in a months timeEC2/0.----5]]
