Yes, I have heard nothing but great things about Amazon EC2.  In fact,
I have developed similar infrastructure on my own, but using VMware
Server.  I just got an offer to join EC2 recently.  Does Ubuntu need
help in working to get an EC2 project going?  I am interested in
helping if people are serious about it and Canonical would fund the
effort for testing purposes...
