This article takes a too simplistic view of real world deployments on AWS, and attempts to sum it up with 5 bullet points. Yes, I know the title is a "rough" guide, but why not go into more depth and acknowledge that there's more diversity in terms of deployment models out there? The other option would have been to keep it very high level and not talk about specific tools. E.g. Use Route 53? Isn't that hosted on Amazon itself? Why create another point of failure? MongoDB - How many big sites on the cloud use it as their primary database? The only takeaway for me was the last paragraph - "In conclusion, you probably used a single zone because it’s easy (hey - so do we for now!). There will come a point where the pain of getting shouted at by your boss, client or customers outweighs learning how to get your app setup properly yourself."
