I respectfully disagree.

When running on AWS you want CloudFormation controlling an AutoScaling Group for this.

OK, for disposable units, it will make sense. I'm less comfortable with entrusting highly stateful services to AWS alone.

As a footnote, BOSH works on AWS, OpenStack, vSphere, Azure, GCP and there are experimental CPIs for RackHD and Photon.
