Partner to show/teach/mentor Amazon Cloud

Hi. Got a project that has a distributed crawler/parser, with a master/server model. There's a backend/serverside database where the data is eventually stored... Interested in seeing if this kind of thing can work in the "cloud"! So I'm trying to find someone that I can work with to see how this would work on the cloud. Pointers on how I can find this resource are welcome!! thanks tom
