Within moments of checking my inbox and seeing Amazon finally released its Elastic Block Store for EC2, I jumped over to RightScale and saw they already had support implemented. Within a couple hours, I had TeamCity installed on a volume, and now have myself an on demand continuous integration server for remote testing.
Too bad "c1.medium" instances run no faster than my MacBookPro with 3G of ram.
But being able to run tests remotely from the IDE without having to check my changes into trunk is priceless.
Heck, it even commits my patch on my behalf if the tests pass.
