In case anyone is interested, I wrote some Pythonista scripts (that's a Python app for iOS) to spin up a new node from a saved image, and to destroy that node when I'm done with it. I'm using these with a development image - I can spin it up, do a git pull to get my code refreshed, make changes I need, run specs, and deploy to real production servers - then kill the node, all from my iPad.
Details and scripts here:

I've also got some scripts for NodeBalancers - they move nodes between accept and reject status, so I can pull nodes out of rotation and do maintenance on them. Happy to post those as well if anyone wants them!
