There's another thread round here (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2337313 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2337313) where shykes is allowing more people into the dotcloud beta. It's a brilliant product, and if you're lucky, you can get in. I believe its backend is EC2, and it's completely normalized deployment for a variety of different projects - similar to Heroku, but for almost any language or platform. The only downfall I've seen in using it for complete deployment is that it doesn't yet support naked domains, but it DOES support www.domainname.com, so I have a static page that just redirects from domainname.com to www.domainname.com where necessary.
