The standard in EC2 is to use ephemeral storage for swap.
Unfortunately, different instance types put their ephemeral storage in
different places, and some have none at all, so I suggest using a
script to manage swap space as the instance starts.  You can do this
by uploading a script as the instance's user data:

euca-run-instances ami-2ea50247 ... --user-data-file=some-shell-script.sh
