Looking at the whole roadmap the only things that peaked my interest
are the following:

Accounts and Environments
Add team access to your Scalr account, with read/write permissions to
your infrastructure (We need this)
Add multiple Environments to your Scalr account, to use dedicated keys
for your development and production environments, or to manage your
clients (this is a reality for us, we have two scalr accounts that
separate our corp instances from our production instances, and I would
further like to separate our production instances from our development
instances)

To me its like legos. I need SCALR to make me the fundamental bricks
that I can't build for myself, and then I can arrange those bricks
into functional creations.

I would like SCALR to be going gangbusters on the bricks like this

   - Raid over EBS
   - Accounts and Environments

And to a much lesser extent services. (because if we really wanted
these services any moderately skilled sys-admin can build them now
with the tools you already provide, like I did with rsyslog). Don't do
a service you don't love or consume yourselves, because once you offer
it, your going to be married to it, support and all.

   - integrated centralized logging with capable search UI.
   - Scalable services (Cassandra, more suggestions? ffmpeg?)

And leave the:

   - Scalable apps (Drupal, more suggestions?)

To the community, because this list won't end. The moment you have
Drupal, you'll have a request for 10 other CMS's. Then the flames of
why Drupal but not WordPress when you have to draw the line somewhere
to stop the insanity.  There are enough services you could implement
that will keep you busy so that you never ever have to touch a high
level application such as these, and the SCALR community will be the
better for it.
