Ok, I see, that's a shame, I did think the 'import non Scalr server' option would be more accommodating, and it's also a shame there is no Scalr provided Tomcat-app role (when I think there used to be?).
At present (for this particular project, or even for Tomcat in general) it's looking like AWS Elastic Beanstalk is a better and easier option, unless I went down the chef route, which I don't really want to at this stage. Many thanks for the advice, it's very much appreciated. Best regards Richard.
