PHP Fog is one of crop of new services that expand Platform as a Service beyond Java, Ruby and Python to accomodate the popular PHP language. The service, which became publicly available in May, layers caching, load balancing, database scaling and code version control features atop the Amazon Web Services foundation that the service taps for its underlying infrastructure. PHP Fog provides for elasticity by enabling users to spin up multiple EC2 instances which to serve customer PHP applications from behind a load balancer.
