For those of us with small (a few to a dozen servers), we'd like to get out of server maintenance completely. Can anyone with experience on a cloud VM solution comment? Do the VM solutions provided by the major hosting companies have the same good performance as the VM's that that several have described here?

Obviously there's Amazon's new Postgres solution available. What else is out there in the way of "instant on" solutions with Linux/Postgres/Apache preconfigured systems? Has anyone used them in production?



If you want a full stack including Postgres, Heroku might be your best bet. Depends a bit on your application and your workload. And yes, I've used it. Full disclosure: I have done work paid for by Heroku.
