[Josh Koenig](https://www.outlandishjosh.com/) (aka [joshk](http://drupal.org/user/3313)) of [Chapter Three](http://www.chapterthree.com/) talks about the [Pantheon Project](https://pantheon.io/) that allows you to run Drupal on a cloud infrastructure either as a [Amazon EC2 machine instance](https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/) or on the [Rackspace Cloud.](https://rackspacecloud.com/) Chapter Three also has a service that is currently in private beta that provides a [hosted version of Mercury](https://pantheon.io/mercury/how-much-does-it-cost) on the Rackspace Cloud starting as low as $50/month. Koenig talks about some of the advantages of hosting on a cloud infrastructure as well as who the target audience is for making the leap into hosting on a cloud infrastructure.
