I attended the 10 May 2012 Cloud DC users group. Red Hat was there presenting OpenShift. After the hour long talk, I went home, and in 20 minutes created an OpenShift account (http://openshift.com) and created a site that uses JBoss as a web server and then updated the content using git (a repository management tool) with some code (under development for a new web widget we are working on) and published the application. Nice and fast! If you use the "-s" option via the command line mode, it will also engage a HAProxy component and auto-scale up and down.
Both OpenShift and Cloud Foundry are great examples of what can be accomplished with an on-premise private cloud. OpenShift just last Monday open-sourced their code.
Cloud Foundry is already open source.
