You can provision a server on EC2 exactly the way you do a rented server. However, on EC2 you can image it after you have it provisioned so if you need to setup a new one, it's as simple as "make a new server with this image".
I see no way to say that it's more work on EC2. It may have worse performance, or cost more, but that is an entirely different argument.

- jshen 14y agoI realized that. My argument is that you can use EC2 exactly the same as you do a rented physical server, and you gain added benefits like the ability to image it and create more servers from that image.
