Basic python cli script for adding nodes to Amazon ELB.

== help == 

$ elb_tool -h

usage: elb_tool.py [-h] -e ELB_NAME -i INSTANCE_NAME [-k AWS_KEY]
                   [-s AWS_SECRET] -a {check,add,remove} [--debug] [-n]

elb_tool

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -e ELB_NAME, --elb ELB_NAME
                        The ELB name. You must create this ELB somewhere else.
  -i INSTANCE_NAME, --instance INSTANCE_NAME
                        The EC2 instance ID that you wish to work with.
  -k AWS_KEY, --key AWS_KEY
                        Your EC2 Access Key - This can also be set via
                        environment varible called: EC2_ACCESS_KEY
  -s AWS_SECRET, --secret AWS_SECRET
                        Your EC2 Secret Key - This can also be set via
                        environment variable called: EC2_SECRET_KEY
  -a {check,add,remove}, --action {check,add,remove}
                        Pick a single action. 'check' will search the ELB for
                        the Instance ID that you specify.
  --debug
  -n, --noop            If you set this, we will not actually interact with
                        the AWS API, mostly useful for testing.
