Chris Richardson has created a Grails plugin for deploying to Amazon EC2:

Cloud Tools now includes a plugin for deploying Grails applications to Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). Like the Cloud tools Maven plugin, this plugin makes deploying a web application to EC2 extremely easy. It currently provides the following Grails scripts:

• cloud-tools-deploy - Launches EC2 instances (MySQL master and slaves, tomcats and Apache) and deploys the web application
• cloud-tools-describe - Displays information about the instances
• cloud-tools-redeploy - Redeploys the web application
• cloud-tools-stop  - Terminates the EC2 instances

I plan to release it in the next few days but in the meantime please contact me if you would like to try it out.
