  15 We've created an Amazon hosted demo of mcollective that can give you a quick feel
  16 for how things work without all the hassle of setting up from scratch.
  17
  18 The demo uses the new Amazon CloudFormation technology that you can access using the [Amazon Console].
  19 To access the AMI you must select the 'EU - West' Region. Also, prior to following the steps in the demo
  20 please create a SSH keypair and register it under the EC2 tab in the console for that region.
  21
  22 The video below shows how to get going with the demo and runs through a few of the availbable options.
  23 For best experience please maximise the video.
  24
  25 The two passwords requested during creation is completely arbitrary you can provide anything there and
  26 past entering them on the creation page you don't need to know them again later.  They are used internally
  27 to the demo without you being aware of them.
  28
  29 You'll need to enter the url _http://mcollective-120-demo.s3.amazonaws.com/cloudfront`_`demo.json_ into the
  30 creation step.
