My main focus this week was getting an EC2 image set up which properly builds, installs, and starts a Fedora server on instance startup. Most of this work was server configuration and scripting.

I used that as my base, then added scripting to grab and update the provided install.properties file, set up the environment, update the code, install Fedora, convert the demos using the current IP, and start the Fedora server. Adding that to the server startup provided the desired results. I can now start an instance with either a configA or configB properties file, then log in and run the system tests, which pass with no further setup.
