Additionally from my experience with AWS - licenses for EC2 or RDS gets sorted automatically. - Easy, centralized and automatic patch management of EC2 servers. - If something is getting outdated, AWS will start sending emails so you can upgrade in some favorable time. - Simple scaling of space, I don't need to buy SSDs compatible with my server, I will just ask for more space and few minutes later I got it.
