How do you automate the deployment and configuration of your EC2 instances, your IAM users, your elastic load balancers and numerous other AWS components services that your applications rely on. If so, then we know exactly where you're coming from. AWS does provide a very useful web based management console to deploy and manage all these cloud resources.
