Cloud support would be nice. I have a twisted app(a web service to implement a game server for Second Life) that is likely to have a rough scaling curve with bursty usage. Atm I'm running it on a dedicated virtual box with plans to go to EC2 and then multiple EC2s, but a single cloud instance would be better. I've already got a decoupled permanent datastore which interfaces to SDB for a cloud should work from that angle too. What would twisted look like on a cloud? Would the main reactor still be single threaded with threads being distributed or would we have to rearchitect for multiple main reactors by port or path?

How many others on these lists feel that they would benefit from the ease of pre-installed Twisted and/or support for Twisted apps in the cloud?
Might be great for some folks, twisted is really easy to install, cloud support would be very nice.
If you do, what kinds of apps (that you are currently running) do you want to be able to run in such environments? Simple web sites? DNS servers? Game servers? Chat applications? Web/data services apps?
The main project I'm working on is a bit of all of the above. A game with chat, web interfaces for various things, also a custom client is in the works. Still in very early development right now so I'm hosting it privately, when it goes public I'll definitely be looking for something.
And lastly, what hosting companies are your favorites? Where would you be happiest, if they supported Twisted? Would you consider switching to a hosting provider that *did* support Twisted?
Personally I *really* like Slicehost. www.slicehost.com I'm sure everyone has their favorite though.
