Cloud is a marketing term. Cloud is out of sight, out of mind

The less you have to worry about it, the more pure cloud it is.

Differences between EC2 and GAE.

GAE - Deployment is trivial. Scaling is a non-issue. There are limitations and constraints in how you build your app, but that ensures that the apps can scale.

Provisioning is transparent. Scalability is inherent.

EC2 is a cloud platform on which you could build

Pay-as-you-go. If you have a big fundraising campaign and expect a lot of traffic to your site, you can use EC2 to fire up new machines to increase capacity to handle the additional load.

Low traffic, dynamic resource allocation over time.
