Deployment via Silver LIning

[Christopher Allan Webber]

Deployability is a big deal. We should research doing deployment
via `Silver Lining <http://cloudsilverlining.org/>`_ which looks
like it would make deployment fairly easy and also looks very
easily compatible with the tools we already have. Currently
Rackspace Cloud seems to be the only reasonable option there, but
that doesn't seem any more terrible than shared hosting, and more
local hosting looks possible.

Trying to make a Silver Lining deployment option anyway can't be
anything but a good/useful idea.

Currently low priority.

Removing assignment to me specifically.

We should also look more into Puppet (and Vagrant for testing
locally) for this kind of stuff.

Silver Lining seems to be not exclusively for Rackspace Cloud:

    What Does It Do
    
    This is a script that:
    1. Can create and destroy virtual servers, using a Cloud service API (something supported by libcloud).
    [...]

This is a list of supported providers for libcloud;

Here's some notes on OpenHatch deploying via Vagrant.

Not sure if this should turn into its own ticket :)

I'm going to deprecate this; I haven't seen any movement on SilverLining for some time. Too bad!

I think it's more important to look into easy deployment options along the lines of openshift and openstack and etc... I'll be doing more research soon.
