PoolParty allows you to launch multiple clouds just as easily as launching one.

PoolParty uses keypairs to separate the clouds, so first and foremost you need to have multiple keypairs. A recommended convention is to name your keypairs in the format poolname_cloudname.
Once you have set up your keypairs in ec2, you can specify them in your cloud like so:


pool :party do
  cloud :mom do
    key :party_mom
  end
  cloud :dad do
    key :party_dad
  end
end

Make sure that they keypairs exist

ec2-describe-keypairs

That’s it. You are set to launch multiple clouds

ToDo: What is difference between key :party_mom and the keypair '/path/to/party_mom'?
