Which gives me the idea: it'd be cool to have a service like this and have it use a user-provided AWS account.
So you could use a service like this to automatically manage the EC2 instances, and then if you need to take control to expand your instances' functionality you just stop using the service.
Great idea! I took notes on the installation of NodeFu on EC2. I would like to include them in the bootstrap readme in the repo so others can easily standup their own instances too.

Just a thought...
