ec2 creation should attach larger EBS

[amfarrell]

the default EBS storage size attached to a new EC2 deploy is 7.8GB. This needs to be significantly larger (at least 32 GB) to hold the data from crawls in demos.

This is stalled on being unable to run the following script

import os
import boto.ec2
ec2 = boto.ec2.connect_to_region('us-east-1',
  aws_access_key_id = os.environ.get('AWS_ID'),
  aws_secret_access_key = os.environ.get('AWS_SECRET'))
vol = ec2.create_volume(22, 'us-east-1a')

I get the following error:

boto.exception.EC2ResponseError: EC2ResponseError: 400 Bad Request '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>\nVolumeLimitExceededMaximum number of active volumes bytes, 20, exceeded.80e3345a-0121-4b3d-9df2-fcbd76787b5a'

We're not currently focusing on automated deployments.
