TroubleShooting

• Please be aware of the breaking changes that occurred with the release of Cake v0.22.0, you will need to upgrade Cake in order to use Cake.AWS.EC2 v0.2.0 or above.

Plays well with

If your EC2 instances are behind ELB load balancers its worth checking out Cake.AWS.ElasticLoadBalancing or if your using Route53 as your DNS server check out Cake.AWS.Route53.

If your looking for a way to trigger cake tasks based on windows events or at scheduled intervals then check out CakeBoss.
