RightScale is a service that manages cloud deployments - they started with EC2 and have expanded much beyond that. They started using Chef recently. http://blog.rightscale.com/2009/09/16/rackspace-rightlink-chef-machine-tags-vpc/ http://blog.rightscale.com/2009/09/16/rackspace-rightlink-ch... Although they are quite expensive for a small shop, if you're interested in deploying within Amazon's cloud and have some money to throw at the problem, RightScale is definitely worth a look. You can get pretty far with just their free developer accounts - as I've done - but the more powerful Chef functionality comes online once you become a paid customer.
