It's not open source, but games tend not to be anyway. It's certainly a very impressive development as Amazon are the most trusted "PaaS" vendor even if they're not the cheapest.

(have Amazon ever shut down any of the AWS services?)

SimpleDB is the only service I can think of that they've shut down since I've used the service

SimpleDB is still operating. In fact, I imagine it'll get way more popular alongside Lambda.

It is deprecated, and they've moved people away from it when possible, but last I heard it was still "on" for the folks who wouldn't move. They just won't let anyone else in.
