[ Cloud Computing ] Role of Windows Appliances and Cloud

I am doing research to try to understand the role of Appliances in the Cloud…as I read much about the ability to move Appliances from on to off premise operation …

 

What if any role is there for Windows Appliances to enable organization to move their pre-existing windows apps up to a cloud like EC2?  

 

What I have learned is that most Appliances, and tool sets to build them, seem to support only Linux – with JeOS ( maybe I read it wrong? )

 

Does the group think there would be interest in a Zero OS Application based appliance? Such an Appliance would package an Application , its Identity, Services, Dependencies, Configuration, and potentially even Data and State – but Zero OS.  Such an appliance could be dropped on a running instance of an OS.  It would leave no footprint, or alter the key settings on the machine ( e.g. Registry ).

 

Any and all feedback welcome.

 

Thanks

 

Mark
