Cloud Portal one-click launch

Announcing two nice little additions to the cloud portal AMI tool that should make everyone's cloud life a little easier

• Amazon now allows passing parameters to the AWS console to basically be able to choose the region and AMI-ID to launch. This is now integrated in the cloud portal so that you search for the ami, click the link and it's pre-selected, ready to be launched in AWS console. Here's a screenshot

• As that image shows as well, you can search now for "cluster" to get Ubuntu cloud cluster-ready images!

Interested to add any features? Have any thoughts or comments, let me know, leave me a word
