I&apos;ll have to add that to PlatformLayer!&lt;p&gt;Asgard looks to be very heavily tied to AWS though, which I guess explains why NetFlix are always pleading with everyone else to stick with the AWS APIs.  With the cloud wars getting really interesting (Google&apos;s cloud this week, we hope!), locking yourself in to the obscure features of Amazon&apos;s cloud seems like a mis-step I wouldn&apos;t want to emulate.</text></comment>
