You build your MySQL/Apache based app using their images, and it is hosted on EC2/EBS/S3 in an application farm that will auto grow as load increases, be HA, etc.
Really nice. $50 a month. You could setup scalr yourself, but $50 a month is nothing for the convenience.
The FOSS project is at: http://code.google.com/p/scalr/

Rightscale is the other option, but at $2500 up front + $500 a month, thats not interesting at the moment. Spoke with their technical sales guy tonight and they will probably wave the $2500 up front fee for startups soon.
Cloud computing is amazing. Totally disruptive.
