I'd like to understand the EC2 strategy a bit more.  Is the goal to have 
a populated / up to date AMI (maybe this exists) that a customer could 
launch?  There are many details around that, but it would be cool to 
have a process where you take the customers credentials and create the 
environment in AWS that's needed in order to launch this.  Then they 
essentially hit the OpenShift dashboard and test an app launch.

Ansible has part of this:

http://www.ansible.com/tower-trial

It will launch an instance from an AMI that they have listed and you 
have to run through the AWS wizard.  One thing it doesn't give you is 
"what to do next" after launch as a carry over quickstart instruction. 
It turns out that you only need to hit the public DNS name of the 
instance that was launched.  It takes you to a login screen, but you 
have to figure out what the default username / password it.

I'm happy to review this quickstart as needed.
