Double? Try 100x!!

  Exactly. If it was double, it would be a non-brainier.

  If you’re running a couple ec2 instances in one AZ then yeah it’s closer to 100x, but if you wanted to replicate the durability of S3, it would cost you a lot in terms of redundancy (usually “invisible” to the customer) and ongoing R&D and support headcount. Yes, even when you add it all up, Amazon still charges a premium even over that all-in cost. That’s sweat equity.
