Interesting...I think you may be right.

I originally though this - http://www.engineyard.com/private-cloud - was a cloud environment a la EC2 based on the title (which would work with my theory), but reading more about it makes it seem like it's still optimized for Rails, and hence not for this.

Yeah, one of EY's services actually is semi-managed EC2 and they advertise it as such.
