The thing I don't understand is why would people consider AWS to have lower "ops" costs?
I can deploy my SaaS either to VPS servers (AWS, DigitalOcean, Azure, etc) or to physical servers. Both deployments use the same ansible automation. The only difference is that I additionally use terraform to set up the cloud instances.
In every case, if a machine fails it is my problem.
