Amazon Web Services Support
Roboconf has a IaaS implementation for Amazon Web Services (AWS).
It only supports the creation of compute VMs.
Every new VM is associated with a public IP address.
This address will be used by other components which resolve their dependencies through Roboconf.
Sample iaas.properties.
Just copy / paste and edit.

ec2.access.key =
ec2.secret.key =
# VM configuration
