AWS Elastic Beanstalk enables developers to quickly deploy and manage applications in the AWS cloud without having to worry about the infrastructure that runs those applications. AWS Elastic Beanstalk is designed to reduce management complexity without restricting choice or control. You simply upload your application and AWS Elastic Beanstalk automatically handles the deployment details of capacity provisioning, load balancing, auto-scaling, and application health monitoring. AWS Elastic Beanstalk uses highly reliable and scalable services such as Amazon EC2, Amazon S3, Amazon Simple Notification Service, Elastic Load Balancing, and Auto Scaling to deploy your application within minutes. You can also perform most deployment tasks such as changing the fleet size or monitoring your application directly from the AWS Elastic Beanstalk web interface

...which would cover jruby apps packaged with warbler, unless there's something I'm missing.
So scala, clojure, jruby, mirah ... are all ok.

Or even quercus if you are into php.

This sounds fun!

That includes both lift and clojure. Not too bad.
Nice, so this is one step closer to Heroku/GAE.

I hope this puts the pricing pressure on cloud services.

Another mediocre, proprietary platform to get locked into?
