As yet I haven't done any cloud-based hosting myself personally, so my "vision" of how I'd actually use it is most-likely incomplete and tainted. I think I'd really only thought of housing one application or technology stack in a single cloud instance. That cloud instance would be a CFML instance, a PHP instance or a Ruby instance and if I needed a different technology stack then I'd use a different instance. Even in a multi-host situation I think I'd still separate out the technology stacks to different instances. It just feels dirty mixing up technology stacks particularly when I see people saying how easy it is to throw up new instances with whatever provider.
