WebObjects in the Cloud!
WebObjects is a full stack, Java based web application framework from Apple. It is available, for free, as part of the Xcode Developer Tools included with Apple's Mac OS X operating system. Its hallmark features are its deep object-orientation, powerful database connectivity, and rapid prototyping tools.
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is a virtual computing environment which provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud. Based on the same technology that powers Amazon.com, it is a reliable, secure, and inexpensive way to quickly bootstrap a dynamically scalable server environment. EC2 changes the economics of computing by allowing you to pay only for capacity that you actually use reducing up front costs and making for a very cost effective solution for deploying your web applications.
WOlastic is a website dedicated to providing the documentation, tools, and images necessary to deploy WebObjects applications in the cloud.

The images above make it trivial to bootstrap a WebObjects deployment environment in Amazon EC2. They include everything you need (web server, java VM, load balancer, database(s), configuration and monitoring tools) to deploy a WebObjects application to the world in minutes without the need for expensive hardware or hosting services.
