[erlang-questions] booting erlang off of amazon s3

[Michael Radford]

Hi Joel,

We package our Erlang software as .debs which use erlrc:
http://code.google.com/p/erlrc/

Then use the ec2-do script (also in the erlrc repository) and APT to
update the cluster.  With this method, the Erlang node on each machine
can stay running indefinitely, and updates use hot code loading.
