replication

Bootstrap two EC2 clouds in different regions, install the “verifi” application on each. The second cloud will have a slightly modified (extended) postgres recipe for acting as a slave + no running app servers. Upon the primary zone failure, the second cloud will spin up instances of the app servers and turn the data instance into master, then bootstrapping another “slave” cloud in another zone.
