You upload your web applications and deploy them on EC2 with just a few mouse clicks. Cloud Foundry monitors and manages your applications. We will also support your applications and act as your outsourced operations department.; Like this Reply to this comment

We just released TestMaker 5.3 and include Cloud Testing capability. We started by using the Amazon provided Java APIs, just to realize how lacking they were. Jeff Barr of Amazon himself recommended Typica (http://code.google.com/p/typica) and others. We found Typica works very well and is a pretty easy API for Java developers.

The next issue will be to find something similar to Typica for GoGrid, RackSpace, and the other Cloud providers.

Details on our Cloud Testing solutions are at http://www.pushtotest.com/products/cloudtesting
