Quickly push a Koha instance into your preferred cloud host

Just need the one config file with your key, then the command line tool (/bin/awssum)

1. For security grouping: Export GROUP_NAME=default
2. Run command to allow SSH
3. Similarly allow HTTP on port 80
4. Upload your SSH key (or have the system create it)
5. Pick your OS image: export IMAGE_ID= … check web for image ID for your preferred distro
6. Start instance. Save the instance-id.
7. Once running, export the DNS_NAME and IP_ADDRESS to environment variables
8. ssh root@$DNS_NAME (for Debian, at least)
9. Now you’re ready to create a your Koha server (using the most excellent Debian packages!)
