Cloud vs SOA
What is Cloud Computing?
Customers to Vendors: You integrate Your products and give me a bundle to create a service.
What is SOA?
Vendors to Customers: Here is all my point products exposed as services(API) and You integrate my products to create Your service.
Summary:
It's the question of who is doing integration! The basis for web-services technologies are all about integration and is the reason it exists in both buzzword.
Any one wants to disagree?

So is AWS cloud computing or SOA? If you look at a single product like EC2 applying your definition would make it a cloud service - it saves the hassle of virtualization, management, provisioning etc. However, if you look at their product suite (EC2, S3, ...) seems like SOA. Would you agree?
I agree with you that EC2 is a cloud.
But it's hard to agree/dis-agree about calling AWS as SOA.It's too abstract.
IMO,good example for SOA is Amazon.com:
"100-150 services are accessed to build a page"

-Uday.
I don't call AWS as SOA.
