Try Openshift

Openshift is a Redhat's PaaS, which is similar with Google's GAE. It can let user to update APP to cloud without considering maintain the application deploy.

I tried Openshift express verison. It support PHP, Ruby and Python environment. I follow these blog posts:

https://openshift.redhat.com/app/getting_started/express

Two things to mention after using openshift
1. Very quick to deploy your application to cloud, just 3 or 4 commands can work
2, The application source is maintained by git, since git is useful on distributed environment.
user can upload and clone the application source codes just using git
