right. Just like you are paying AWS for the luxury of not having to deal with hardware.

Both can be rational decisions (or not, depending on many factors) I'm just pointing out that the people who deal with racking and stacking (the sort that amazon allows you to fire) are rather a lot less expensive than Linux SysAdmins, the sort who app engine, heroku and engine yard allow you to fire.
