Our FS app will be under near-zero load much of the time, and then spike with our large (highly customized) conference call applications.

So, we'd like to investigate running it in an easily scalable environment, a la the Amazon cloud.

Three questions
1) Are the current images available here *current*, can someone tell from the version numbers?  I looked for version history on the wiki but couldn't find it.
The amazon command line command: ec2-describe-images -x all -v |grep freeswitch
yields the following three (repeated in the verbose mode)
          <imageLocation>rbuilder-online/freeswitch-0.0.1-x86_11952.img.manifest.xml</imageLocation>
          <imageLocation>freeswitch-fedora-6-svn-rev-9178/image.manifest.xml</imageLocation>
          <imageLocation>rbuilder-online/freeswitch-0.0.1-x86_11963.img.manifest.xml</imageLocation>
IMAGE    ami-999672f0    freeswitch-fedora-6-svn-rev-9178/image.manifest.xml    811137716590    available    public        x86_64    machine       
IMAGE    ami-1be30672    rbuilder-online/freeswitch-0.0.1-x86_11952.img.manifest.xml    099034111737    available    public        i386    machine       
IMAGE    ami-dae306b3    rbuilder-online/freeswitch-0.0.1-x86_11963.img.manifest.xml    099034111737    available    public        i386    machine   

2) If not, does anyone want to help set up a current Amazon image?  I'll provide the Amazon account if you can install FS in it.

3)  Does anyone have other recommendations for services that can burst to high usage, without paying for high usage 24x7?  I don't see VPS providers that can burst to much RAM/CPU for the few hours/month we'll need it.

Thanks!
