Red Hat OpenShift [1] is a new-ish, but already staggeringly awesome,
Platform as a Service (PAAS) provider. It allows users to push their
application to a git tree, and have that tree be built (compiled) and
deployed to a full Java Application Server (JBoss). It's kind of like
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) but instead of managing the OS yourself,
they handle all of the stack. You simply define modules you want to have
included, e.g. Java, PHP, Ruby, Python, Perl, MySQL, etc etc etc, and then
they are made available.

It's nicer than EC2 in that you don't have to muck around with the OS
management stuff. Just push your project changes to the git repository, run
a command line tool for deploy, and you're in business. Since RH has really
been on a tear to promote this thing, it seems they have made funds
available to send their elite PAAS ninjas around.. maybe we should contact
them?
