I also used this brief window of opportunity as a fun experiment in learning Ansible. As a result, I've published a repo which automates setting up LTC mining on g2.2xlarge instances. http://github.com/adammeghji/ansible-ltc-mining-on-ec2 http://github.com/adammeghji/ansible-ltc-mining-on-ec2 If anybody's curious to spin up a GPU instance and dabble with this, this greatly facilitates downloading, compiling, and installing the CUDA drivers, and setting up the LTC miners. Amazon has a $100 credit available too, if the current spot instance prices are prohibitive.
