Dear Brad Chapman,

Great tool you made! I've been playing with it a lot yesterday and today. I launches and relaunches a customized galaxy cloud instance in most cases.

There are however 2 issues:
1. Sometimes the amazon EC2 instance is launched in a different availability zone us-east1c instead of us-east-1b, therefore the stored snapshots of tools and data cannot be attached to the new instance
2. The size of the data partition is to small, it uses the full 2 GB. I therefore created a snapshot, created a volume of this snapshot of 6GB, created a snapshot of this again and managed to refer to this new snapshot in the yaml file. After this i could resize the new partition using xfs_resize -D 10000000 /dev/xdg2 (or whatever the volume of the galaxy-data partition). It would be usefull to have a bigger partition per default.

Keep up the great work, I hope I can contribute towards this.

Thomas
