ideas for a poolparty configuration

beehive_example.rb

pool :att do
    
  cloud :rails_apps do
    using :ec2
    instances 2..50
    
    expand_when load > 0.8    
    expand_when instances > 10 do
      load > 0.8 to :slicehost
      load > 1.4 to :slicehost
      cpu > 2.0 to :synaptic
    end
  end
  cloud :ec2 do    
    using :ec2
    provides :rails_apps, :drupals_app
    homogenous true
  end
  cloud :synaptic do        
  end
end

 ./app
 ./config
    ./config/poolparty.rb
    
describe_application :minerva on :att do
  rails_app
end

./config/deploy.rb
  in_pool :att as :rails_app
  # We know we ar elooking for a resource that provides rails_app
  # so we go fetch an instance from the cloud that provides rails apps
  # and deploy to that instance

describe :rails_app do
  requires :mysql
