Discovering as much as I can about Oracle Cloud Computing. I haven’t been able to determine if it is possible to run PeopleSoft using this architecture but from just reading through the Oracle documentation i see that you can run an Oracle Database and a Web Server (Web Logic) so that leaves the Application Server and Process Scheduler.
It would be great if you could set up your initial PeopleSoft delivered environments in this type of infrastructure to jump start projects while you wait for hardware to be delivered or you just don’t want to own hardware anymore.

Nice blog!
Not only is it possible, I have already implemented HRMS 9.0 for our startup on a ’small’ ami using the basic windows instance Windows2003/SQLServer 2005.
Unfortunately we have not recieved much interest in the service due to unfamiliarity of most IT departments with the whole cloud computing concept and the fact that the instance run “somewhere out there” … Hopefully this situation will turn-around soon as the “cloud brokers” gain more corporate IT leadership mindshare.
I don’t see any reason why it can’t be done for the Centos instances or with the 10g AMI’s provided by Oracle.
However, our install was a full proof of concept install of all components of the PIA from scratch (logical n tier — one AMI)
Oracle had come out with the PS VM templates but they seem to have been withdrawn. We see increasing customer interest in the future in the “fire and forget” one off vanilla instances which they can use to do quick one off things and then move on based on quick testing.
