[Blueprint servercloud-q-awstools] Package (more) AWS tools for Ubuntu

[Scott Moser]

Blueprint changed by Scott Moser:

Whiteboard changed:
  Ubuntu has packages for only two sets of AWS tools:
  
    * EC2 API Tools [package: ec2-api-tools]
    * EC2 AMI Tools [package: ec2-ami-tools]
+   * RDS - Relational Database Service [package: rdscli]
+   * IAM - Identity and Access Management [package: iamcli]
  
  If we want Ubuntu to be the easiest distro for use with the biggest and
  most popular public cloud, then there are a number of other important
  AWS tool sets that we need to have packaged for easy installation in
  Ubuntu when using AWS services, including:
  
-   * RDS - Relational Database Service - http://aws.amazon.com/developertools/2928
+   * ELB - Elastic Load Balancing - http://aws.amazon.com/developertools/2536
+     [packaged as 'elbcli' in ppa:awstools-dev/awstools]
+   * aws-cloudformation-cli
+     [packaged as 'aws-cloudformation-cli' in ppa:awstools-dev/aws-cloudformation-cli]
    * Auto Scaling - http://aws.amazon.com/developertools/2535
-   * ELB - Elastic Load Balancing - http://aws.amazon.com/developertools/2536
-   * IAM - Identity and Access Management - http://aws.amazon.com/developertools/4143
    * CloudWatch - http://aws.amazon.com/developertools/2534
    * ElastiCache - http://aws.amazon.com/developertools/Amazon-ElastiCache/2310261897259567
    * AWS Import/Export - http://aws.amazon.com/importexport/tools/
    * EMR - Elastic MapReduce - http://aws.amazon.com/developertools/Elastic-MapReduce/2264
    * CloudSearch - http://aws.amazon.com/developertools/9054800585729911
    * CloudFront - ? http://aws.amazon.com/code/CloudFront
    * Route53 - ?
    * etc.
  
  If all of these can't be supported, then prioritize the important ones
  with user feedback and start working on getting them into Ubuntu, or at
  least into a PPA.
  
  Note: Scott Moser has started an awstools team and PPA which can be used
  for this purpose, but there have not been sufficient resources applied
  to date in adding and updating all of the important tools:
