This is something I often wish for as well, so if anyone passes Jon recommendations, please send them to me or the whole list as well!
As a solo freelancer, I want to be able to offer some clients an end-to-end "I'll take care of it" sort of service, but ops is a crucial piece of that, and I will not volunteer to answer the phone at 3am because a network switch went down. I'd love to bundle my services with someone else who would have an initial contract to provision infrastructure, write Chef recipes, and get familiar with the project, plus a retainer for security updates and maintenance, plus an "emergency rate" for outages. Is anyone doing this sort of thing at a medium-small scale? This seems like a great business plan for a small devops consultancy.

Basically monitoring of uptime, occasionally restarting services on EC2 instances, troubleshooting downtime, being able to know how to properly size and grow a deployment to meet traffic needs, being available not just during business hours... all the stuff that comes with operations. Do you guys know anyone who is independent that does this and enjoys it or a company with reasonable rates and good skills? I can do it myself, but it's not really my favorite thing to do nor my strong suit.
