It's not, and that's coming from someone who does devops for thousands of virtual machines in production. I don't have an hour to burn sometimes to update a repo, build new AMIs, roll them into production, roll the old ones out, watch logs to ensure canaries pass acceptance tests and that production traffic to new instances aren't erring out, all for minor changes (example: nginx mime type change).

Try something like Heroku. Commit the code to Git, push the repo to the Heroku repo and it deploys it to the servers for you. Easy.

You mean the same Heroku that has the uptime of a server under the dev's desk? No thank you.
