Background: http://gravitext.com/2014/03/20/syncwrap-for-engineers.html
More Examples: http://gravitext.com/2014/03/19/provision-programming.html

This is a general provisioning and deployment tool espousing direct 
programming in Ruby and a little bash.  It will run simply on localhost 
or against a local VM for testing. On Amazon EC2, it supports one step, 
fully automated host creation, provisioning, and application deployment. 
In design it is much more comparable to Python's Fabric than to the 
commercially backed alternatives with hidden Ruby internals.

This is not a Rails-only tool. Releasing this without Rails deployment 
support should make that obvious. That said, I would like to collaborate 
with an active Rails practitioner to see a better Rails deployment 
solution built on SyncWrap.  Best known forms of this automation boil 
down to pushing files and remotely executing bash scripts, which is a 
direct match for this tool.  Many other facets of the Ruby ecosystem 
could be similarly automated.

Disclaimer: This is Apache licensed software, no warranties, your AWS or 
other usage and expense is entirely your own responsibility. Deployment 
tools don't kill people, people kill people.

I would greatly appreciate any direct feedback, questions, or pull requests!
