Package pygmy into installable AMI. #27

This will be a research task for a while. However, I propose we try to get pygmy out on AWS Marketplace sooner than later. I think one of the fastest ways to do that is to package pygmy up into an AMI that customers can use to stand up the application. The AMI becomes what we are actually selling. Future iterations could involve containers, other cloud platforms, etc., but this seems like a good place to start.

I have never done this, but think I can figure it out. From what I can tell, we do not have pygmy on a "sellable"AMI.
