I noticed that Forge recently added the "Custom VPS" option but has now removed the AWS tab entirely - was this by design or is this a bug? I liked that I could easily just create an AWS server from Forge but now I assume I have to go to AWS and create the server and then come back and provision it using forge? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your reply, I hadn't see that tweet. Extremely unfortunate, AWS is the reason I was paying for Forge :(.

You can still use Forge with AWS. All you need to do is follow the instructions to use a custom VPS (Ubuntu 14.04 x64 with a root user): https://www.dropbox.com/s/4ms28k3clgvxokg/Screenshot%202014-07-15%2010.38.03.png

I think the issue was more with the whole AWS control panel which is, admittedly, an absolute mess. I haven't tried it yet but Taylor did say it should work.
