Cloud computing by most definitions I'm aware of refer to the decades old
practice of outsourcing data storage and processing needs. RootBSD fits
comfortably into this definition. Elastic cloud computing(IMO an often
overrated attribute) is an enhanced version of such services. The definition
is something of a moot point in this discussion as either setup is available
for FreeBSD guests with multiple hosting providers.

http://www.reliacloud.com/ and http://www.elastichosts.com/ are a couple
examples of the more sophisticated ones.
One of those links gives a 404 on the root domain and the other on the pricing page (http://www.reliacloud.com/pricing/)

I'm not sure how serious these efforts are or where it actually gives more information on how they are powered by BSD in any way.

I wish people would spend as much time solving problems in *BSD as they do trying to defend an irrelevant OS ;)
