Title: AWS CloudFormation Template and AMI to learn Druid capabilities

Hello All,

In the past, we used Druid real time data analytics capabilities to build SF parking meter application that we demonstrated in Strata conference.

To help our engineering team understand and leverage Druid, we created a CloudFormation Stack which builds druid infrastructure topology (Master/Broker on one machine, Compute Node on different machine/s). This allowed us to perform substantial data analytics leveraging druid indexing capabilities on S3.

For more simpler cases, we have also build an AWS AMI image that has all Master, Broker and Compute in one machine. This really simplifies learning and getting started with Druid.

We will love to share the above collateral with Druid's open source community. Also available in pull request is a white paper explaining the CloudFormation stack and associated read me files.
