For opensource performance testing tools, you can refer to this page: http://www.opensourcetesting.org/performance.php
For beginner, I would recommend JMeter as you can design the testes using a GUI.

Opensource cloud? Are you sure you really need one? In fact, JMeter's distributed testing doesn't require a cloud! If you have multiple servers, that would be okay already. People use EC2 because they don't want to buy those testing servers. For distributed testing, you can see this: http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/jmeter_distributed_testing_step_by_step.pdf

As per the Selenium FAQ :
Is it possible to use Selenium for multi-user load testing? Yes, but it requires a LOT of hardware. We recommend you check out BrowserMob, which does load testing with real browsers and is powered by Selenium.
The two approaches I've used are JMeter and Visual Studio Team Studio, both which allow many users (although 3000 is pushing it!)

Very recent news... here's an article regarding a FREE version of AWS: http://www.infoworld.com/d/cloud-computing/amazons-new-aws-bet-you-cant-beat-free-729
Google App Engine is also free up to a point.
