Actually, talking about open stacks, I've been playing with AppFog recently 
and I've gotta say my test apps running on Java, Ruby and Python runtimes 
have impressive performance and throughput. 

I was pretty skeptical at the beginning (I did have a look at Cloudfoundry 
code base a year back and didn't like what I saw) but these days I was like 
"wow!". 

At the point where I'm standing today I seriously considering moving the 
apps to AppFog. They don't offer a GA SLA but statistically I haven't been 
needing one so far, who cares. Plus, the pricing model is the simplest I've 
ever seen. 
I'm not advertising here, just saying: I was really impressed, also from 
tech support point of view. They always responded back to me within 24 
hours (and never charged me for that).
