[chef] Re: call the aws ec2 REST API to create the security group or create the instance

Ganesan,

You are expected to typically leverage the AWS EC2 API via tools in some way.

There are very specific, widely used tools here:
http://aws.amazon.com/developertools/351

There's also abstraction libraries like fog - http://fog.io/ - that
can do a lot of these actions.

If you want to write your own, then by all means, but I definitely
think that is beyond the scope of the Chef lists.

Best,
-M
