The virtual world doesn't always scale for that matter either. Try getting a new, in demand, instance type days or even weeks after release, you'll be waiting in line for access to that virtual instance just as you would for a new iPhone on release day.

I'll just write it out into S3 and serve from various S3 endpoints around the globe (or even Cloudfront/Cloudflare, depending on how stale the data is permitted to get). I need instances? I can get them from AWS, Rackspace, Digital Ocean, etc. There is only so much road, aircraft, and people willing to work Christmas Eve/Day out there. The physical world is inherently inelastic.
