I just wanted to clarify one point with the errors you received re: 'Inconsistent EC2 / SOAP Marshalling'. amazon-ec2 does not actually use SOAP to make its requests to EC2. In fact it uses the HTTP Query API that AWS provides as well. Your issue with inconsistent results is a known issue, and one that I have contacted the authors of AWS/S3 and XmlSimple about. No one has yet gotten to the bottom of the issue yet but it appears that by merely including the s3 gem in the same code which requires the amazon-ec2 gem results in this behavior (an extra nesting level in the response hash). If anyone can provide any guidance on resolving this please feel free to contribute to the following thread or submit a patch. http://groups.google.com/group/amazon-ec2/browse_thread/thread/8e158438a3838f65 Cheers, Glenn Hi,
