A macro is an executable description of a deployment that includes attributes of the EC2 servers within a deployment, as well as input parameters and attributes that are either set at the deployment or server level.
The macro language supports the creation and modification of deployments, servers, EBS volumes, SSH keys, security groups, Elastic IPs, and server alerts. Each macro is also editable so you can modify and customize their behavior. All normal Javascript syntax and control structure are available in macros. For security reasons, Elastic IPs, SSH Keys, and EC2 Security Groups are not carried over when a macro is created. You will need to create new ones when you run a macro.
Go to Design -> Macros and select one of the published macros from the RightScale or Partners tabs to instantly create a deployment that you can customize for your own needs.
