Ruby on Rails application deployment on multiple servers

What are the useful gems or softwares that will help deployment of RoR 3.2 application on the clouds?

There is no specific requirements since I just want to get experience with it. But I am thinking of Amazon EC2 as a primary environment to test the application. The goal is to deploy it in the multiple servers.

I guess the most naive way would be launching the same application on multiple servers at the same time, but that will requires a lot of manual restart/reboot which requires a lot of human resources.

Is a single application of ruby on rails just not suited well for deployment on multiple servers?

We use Capistrano (https://github.com/capistrano/capistrano) to communicate with multiple EC2 instances on AWS.

We use Chef (https://github.com/opscode/chef) to do the system management configuration.
You can get cookbooks for various applications that you want to install (eg nginx, monit, logrotate...) from Opscode (http://community.opscode.com/cookbooks)

You will need both Capistrano and Chef to setup and deploy to AWS.

Puppet is another system management configuration that you can use too. (https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet)
