Mule is the world's most widely used open source Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). Designed to support high-performance, multi-protocol transactions between heterogeneous systems and services, Mule provides the basis for service oriented architecture (SOA). With a standards-based, zero intrusion approach to existing infrastructure and a simplified development model, Mule adapts to your environment and prevents vendor lock-in.

For EC2 Boot
Once you have Deployed and Launched the EC2 Elastic Server Image. Use the Elastic Server Cloud Manager, FireFox EC2 UI extension, or similar to obtain the public DNS name once the image has finished booting. Use the same URLs as you would for the Local Boot, just substitute the public DNS name for serverip.
