EC2 Continuous Deployment

I found an excellent introduction to what could be the future of continuous integration. Have a look at the series of posts made by Jeppe Nejsum Madsen.

The series is comprised by the following articles:

• Hello world – Introductory article
  
• Building the software – Shows how to build a simple Lift webapp using the Gradle build system
• Managing the build process – Shows how to setup the Hudson continuous integration server to automatically build the software
• Cooking with Chef and a stint of Gradle – Shows how to provision a new EC2 instance using Chef and Gradle
• Wrapping Up – Perform a crude integration test and outline some possible next steps
