AWS Tools Aplenty

With the AWS tools/stacks being built by the likes of WeoCEO and Heroku, it is becoming increasingly clear that leveraging the flexibility and scalability of EC2, S3 and SQS is going to be a key component for a lot of up and coming web services. Why? Because these services offer a lot of flexibility and some massive savings on overhead.

I'm predicting that either Amazon or one of the players dealing with their services regularly is going to roll out a full tool suite for public consumption sometime soon. Sure, WeoCEO is pretty solid looking, but if they combine some of the other ideas out there (not sure which I can enumerate here, so I'll update more later), and make it a flexible toolkit for anyone to use in deploying an app, the whole hosting/deployment game will change radically (and with it, the costs).
