Guy,
I hope I did not sound like I was saying they were against VA's.
I.e., if the virtual machine does not provide mechanisms by which a program running on one virtual machine can monitor on-the-wire traffic to another virtual machine, or traffic within another virtual machine, or between two virtual machines, there's really not much Wireshark can do. There might be virtual machines that support this
Xen domain 0, the root startup VM, at first look appears to the facilities. Do not know about VMware. The LINUX KVM would most likely have it being built into the kernel. Maybe others could review these answers and add other VM types.

...assuming that "the cloud" ends up being like "the Web" rather than, say, "push technology".
I'm not sure what 'push' means in this context. Google is not providing VM's as of yet. They want you to use their services.
You can buy the least expensive cloud machines from Amazon. No capitol outlay necessary, just rent. The EC2 virtual machines for approximately 0.1 USD(10 cents) per hour. A real cheap bargain for testing overall architectures. HP, IBM, and others have cloud services as well. You could say this machine oriented Cloud is 20th Century; Google being more a 21st Century style service. You may see it differently.
Cheers.
