Our SoapBox topic this time has a strong focus on Amazon EC2 and other Cloud Hosting providers. Chris Richardson joined as a co-host for all things 'cloud'. Chris is the founder of Cloud Foundry , which provides automated, outsourced data center management for Java applications on Amazon EC2. He also founded Cloud Tools , which makes it easier to deploy Java/Grails applications on Amazon EC2. Cloud Tools is also available as a Grails Plugin.
