Project Name
Buildbot and EC2
Project Description
The BuildBot is software for automatically building and testing other software. EC2 is Amazon's "Elastic Compute Cloud", a service that lets you run Virtual Machines on Amazon's computing grid using a web API. It would be awesome if BuildBot had an EC2 module, and could spawn Virtual Machines on-demand to perform tasks. Conveniently, BuildBot is written in Python, and there's a Python library for interfacing with EC2.

This is no longer a priority. Building with Mozilla is the focus of this project. The EC2 functionality can be extracted and used to build any program / system. |
