Research direction

Start by reading the existing ey-migrate command and the repository's migration flow. Compare its current behavior with the proposed account setup, credential prompts, instance selection, and Engine Yard deployment; done means the complete workflow is defined and verified without a separate prior deployment.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Ask a couple of questions up front, and magically deploy straight to engineyard. Process would be:
#1 Create engineyard account
#2 gem install engineyard-migrate (or whatever)
#3 ey-migrate
#4 Enter your engineyard credential
#4.5 (pick instance type [optionally default to solo])
#5 navigate to your new engineyard solo application
