What
A self-healing, load-balanced cloud computing solution. Combined with the power of Puppet, the High Availability project, ruby and erlang, PoolParty makes it easy and fun to set up your cloud! Currently, you can use it with ec2, but it’s not tied to any particular service. You can use PoolParty to manage and monitor your home network!
