`nixos-deploy-network’ should be able to create EC2 instances automatically. E.g. for a machine specification

  { config, pkgs, ... }:
  {
    deployment.targetEnvironment = "ec2";
    deployment.ec2Zone = "eu-west-1";
  }

Of course nixos-deploy-network should keep state to remember previous instances it created.
