When your infrastructure is too simple, you have simple regrets. When your infrastructure is too exotic, you get exciting, bleeding edge regrets. This is my view based on the work I've done. I like the ability to dispense with capacity planning or dealing with power supplies and fire suppression you get from cloud hosting, but when in any doubt I set up what I need using VMs (be those droplets or EC2 instances or whatever). I like to imagine that I've avoided wasting weeks by wasting a few hours here and there.
