I'm not leaving GAE, but in the comments on a RWW article, I saw that the AppScale folks ( http://appscale.cs.ucsb.edu/ ) seem to be trolling for customers. (I mean trolling in the fishing sense, no the usenet sense.)
I'm sure those people must be on these mailing lists. Perhaps one of them could speak up to how turn-key their solution is at this point? I wonder if they've run any big apps like CDN-in-a-box on AWS, to see how the costs and performance compare.
