> And there’s more Being able to reliably create your entire infrastructure on another platform in 'minutes', for example. Not to mention applications architected from the ground up around cloud-friendly and scale-friendly primitives... 2-3 hand-managed servers are great, but will absolutely warp your application and will slowly accrue configuration cruft. That's not terrible, but for many Real World issues portability and freedom to fire up wholly valid test-environments are game-changers. Even the acquisition stories are nicer.
