When you can effectively spawn a new server with a command line you've got saved in your notes... it kinda feels a bit inefficient to be physically building and deploying them yourself.
It's also really pretty amazing to be able to spin up instances or services to test with for however many hours you need and then simply release them again.
Once you've got used to that level of freedom and convenience it's hard to go back, everything just moves faster.
