Ok, cool.  It's worth noting that worker nodes are completely disposable
and that if there are any not running jobs at the top of the hour (when
billing happens) it's a waste.  What you may want to do, at least until the
event tomorrow, is scale back down to 1 master and 1 worker node and turn
on autoscaling.

Cloudman's autoscaling will automatically kill idle instances at the end of
the hour (prior to being billed for the next hour), and will start more if
the job queue starts to get backed up (within the limits set in the admin
interface, of course).
