There in lies the crux of the whole thing. If you are hosting on a cloud
service, who should design for failure? The host (Amazon) or you the service
user?

My take away from this is that, if you are operating on medium scale,
(thousands of users, just a ballpark), cloud services are ok. If you scale
into large scale (millions of users), you are better off with dedicated
server(s).

Having said that, for medium or small scale, any decent hosting service
should be good enough (need not be cloud hosting). In which case it begs the
question, do we need cloud hosting services at all?
