@Will - I get $40 (presumably US$) for 1 x T2.Micro when selecting Sydney on the detailed pricing page, so close enough. I think the main pricing estimator isn't region aware. The platform includes SSL ability at no extra cost according to the support rep I just chatted with. T2.Small (2gb ram) is $51 which is $AUD 68.
So I'll probably set up a test app on AppFog and see how it goes with Ruby 2.2 and Rails 4, then failing that drop back to EngineYard due to better support vs Heroku. Ability to have Aus servers is nive with EY.
