If you guys use AWS, have you taken a look at EBS provisioned IOPS? EBS provisioned IOPS comes to mind here since it allows you to specify the desired IOPS of a volume, and provides an SLA.

The reason I ask is because the blog post generalizes a lot about what cloud providers offer or what the cloud is capable of, but doesn't explore some of the options available to address those concerns, like provisioned IOPS with EBS, dedicated instances with EC2, provisioned throughput with DynamoDB, and so on.
