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