"Sandbox in the Sky"... sounds like a Miyazaki movie, but it isn't. It's one phrase aptly used to describe a new project underway at Adobe and made possible with help from Amazon Web Services.
The two tech giants have partnered in creating a new "cloud-ish" LiveCycle ES development environment for use by members of the Adobe Enterprise Developer Program. This tool promises to allow developers to gain access to fully-configured LiveCycle development environments with the click of a button (must be a very big button).
The service is called "Adobe LiveCycle ES Developer Express" and leverages Amazon's "Elastic Compute Cloud" (aka EC2), as well as Amazon's S3 (aka "Simple Storage Solution") data service offering.
I haven't yet seen this running, so I can't comment on the performance or how reasonable it is to use, but kudos to Adobe and Amazon for being so ambitious. I can just imagine how many integration headaches they've had to go through to get this going... especially considering how much of a steaming load of grief LiveCycle can sometimes be to get running locally with anything but a vanilla configuration.
