Hardware vs hosting

Great topic and great points. AWS is a great advance and RightScale makes it more accessible. I would be careful about considering the easy configuration of a hardware stack as managed hosting however. There have been $72/month servers (the price of an EC2 server) for years. Managed hosters add value by making these servers work for your application. There is a lot involved in that and more every day. Security, monitoring, data protection, network design, etc, etc. To me the great advance of AWS/RightScals is the incredible scaling and utility pricing.
