Yea I’m left scratching my head too. Is there really a difference in reliability between an EC2 instance and colocated hardware?

  Yes. In my experience, it's substantial. 200 servers in colo == maybe 1 failure every 6 months. 200 EC2 instances, one per month. These are different things, though. If you're using AWS, you would build to account for this.

    your personal experience has no value when discussing reliability as a whole

        Your personal experience is no match for the awesome power of AXIOMS.
