I was wondering if I could use a shell script on a remote server to create an amazon EC2 instance from an existing saved snapshot, and also delete that instance too.
I was sure it was possible, but I havent been able to run any example code to do it so im starting to doubt it now.
So, can anyone tell me how this is done please?
There is a quite detailed description on the Amazon webpage how to do this:

At which point are you struggling?
