> his AWS savvy

It seems to me that at this point, being an AWS customer is about as difficult as running a server manually. It's just different skills. The risk of running your own servers is certain kinds of downtime may be harder to fix (though if you have some "sysadmin savvy", ie, backups, it shouldn't be much), and the risk of being an AWS customer is accidentally paying 10x what you should.
