By it’s own description, “Scalr is a fully redundant, self-curing and self-scaling hosting environment utilizing Amazon’s EC2″. While I haven’t yet tried it, there certainly seems to be a market for management tools riding on top of EC2. Rightscale.com, a commercial alternative to Scalr, can attest to that.
I find the type of automation offered fairly compelling. We are approaching the day where deploying your application at internet scale will be push-button simple. Perhap’s Time’s person of the year this time ’round should be a cloud.

Hi Lynn,
We are working hard at Scalr to bring hackers and programmers like you and I this ‘push-button’ simplicity to deploy an application to the Internet, on robust and scalable infrastructure.
You can join the project at http://code.google.com/p/scalr/ if you feel like this is worthwhile
