Audition challenge project, take 2

Challenge Project:

1. Deploy a simple hello world web app to AWS using "eb_deployer"
   1. The basic instructions for using eb_deployer are in the readme:
      https://github.com/ThoughtWorksStudios/eb_deployer/blob/master/README.md
   2. The "hello world" application can be in any language. You don't need to write this application, just get it deployed. You can find sample applications to download here:
      https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/GettingStarted.html#GettingStarted.Walkthrough.DeployApp
2. eb_deployer supports the notion of a "resources" stack, which is an additional cloudformation stack to hold supplementary resources, like databases, roles, etc. Add a resources stack to your configuration, which just includes a custom IAM role and instance profile for your ec2 instances in your web apps. The policy for the role can be anything, just show that you can add a custom role. Include a stack output for the instance profile name. See the following links for a sample of using a resource stack
   1. https://github.com/ThoughtWorksStudios/eb_deployer/blob/master/samples/multi_components/config/eb_deployer.yml#L99
   2. https://github.com/ThoughtWorksStudios/eb_deployer/blob/master/samples/multi_components/config/aws_resources.json
3. Lastly, write a ruby rake task that queries and prints the instance profile name by querying the output of the resources stack. Use the "EbDeployer.query_resource_output" function to make this query.
