I will show you how to cluster a Java web application with the help of Elastic Load Balancing. Amazon lately introduced three great services: Elastic Load Balancing: automatically distributes incoming application traffic across multiple Amazon EC2 instances,Auto Scaling: automatically scale your Amazon EC2 capacity up or down according to conditions you define and
CloudWatch: is a web service that provides monitoring for AWS cloud resources. Auto Scaling is enabled by CloudWatch.

I want to down-vote the article but it is quite well written and thought through. My gripe? Terracotta is not commercial. It is OSS. Also, we have been working on cloud-tests for Terracotta-based web apps like the one in the article. It is all managed through puppet. So far, we have benchmarks showing linear scale under a sticky load balancer for session data, all the way out to 72 JVMs. Tribes was linear out to 4 JVMs.
Use this info as you see fit. Cheers,
