Take this with a grain of salt, as I may have judged this too quickly, but I was not impressed. The tutorial linked is indeed pretty solid and it was trivial to get Scalr up, but the product itself seems half finished (which to be fair makes sense since its very early at v.5). I also took a gander at the code, and I was equally not impressed. I am excited at the potential of Scalr, and maybe in another few months to a year I'll take another look, but for now I would still rather just manage EC2 by hand than become dependent on Scalr.
