    Description

      Amazon now supports the ability to boot from EBS snapshots (http://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2009/12/03/amazon-ec2-instances-now-can-boot-from-amazon-ebs/).

      We can use this feature to simplify the EBS support in the contrib scripts. The code that manages the instance/volume mapping can be retired, since EC2 itself now manages this relationship.

      This change would add "stop-cluster" and "start-cluster" commands to stop/start the instances in a cluster while keeping the EBS volumes attached.

      Also, deprecate the "create-storage" and "attach-storage" commands, since both happen as a part of launch-cluster.
