Take a look to BitNami RubyStack which you can install in your system, download a virtual machine or deploy on Amazon EC2 or GoGrid cloud. You have the exact environment, gem versions, database version, etc on your system and on the cloud so there is no surprise when you move your app to the cloud. I hope it helps.

If you are able to afford them, I would recommend EngineYard's Cloud, which is built with EC2 AMIs. They are around 30% more expensive than EC2 on-demand rates last time I checked.

ec2onrails is a good start, but the project has stagnated, and I don't believe there is a release version that uses EBS for the database files, although the development branches do have that feature. I have used it and it worked well. You will definitely want your database on EBS for snapshot and mobility reasons.

There are a few others floating around but I have not looked at them.

I ended up rolling my own using Passenger, which was not very difficult and left me far more comfortable. Your requirements are pretty basic.
