Choosing your `--cloud` provider on Gigalixir

One cool thing about gigalixir is that you can choose both cloud platform and the datacenter/region where you'd like to install your app.

By default gigalixir create <app name> will put an app in Google Cloud Platform.

But what if you already have infrastructure that you want to take advantage of on AWS in the us-east-1 region (this is where heroku is by default putting it's servers)?

Well you can change providers with the --cloud flag and the region with --region flag.

gigalixir create -n gigatilex --cloud aws --region us-east-1

AWS it is!
