Suppose I have a script in
/home/myuser/go.py
How do I run that script, when a new instance is booted? (I'm used to using the point-and-click control panel Amazon has...)

Adding: to /etc/inittab will make init execute go.py as root when the server hits runlevel 3. That'll probably suffice for your needs. | |||

Since the OP posted his original question, there's been a lot of work done with Ubuntu cloud-init. If you're using an Ubuntu server on for EC2 (we use it almost exclusively in production), it's quite easy to specify a Python script to be executed when the instance is created. Cloud-init supports mulit-part input, so you can insert both an upstart job and have it run a user-data script. | |||
