Amazon’s EC2 GUI for Firefox

Amazon released an XUL GUI for EC2 a few months ago that plugs right into Firefox. I had been using the command line for everything but I now do some of the tasks in the GUI. Mainly I do this because it’s just easier to look at rows and rows of data in a good GUI. It’s just as quick as the command line too when it’s refreshes data. You have to be careful not to get carried away as you can just right click on any of your instances and say “launch more of these” and it asks you how many and you are off to the races…. Pretty cool.
