Security and privacy aren't black and white topics, they're shades of grey, with the exact shade depending on your specific personal or business requirements and appetite to risk.
It could be posited that anyone who is really concerned with these things will want to protect data in transit, but also won't want to use a hosting service relying upon multi-tenant hypervisors which may be susceptible to exploit.
One has to assume AMZN didn't invent AWS Dedicated Instances just for shits and grins. :)

- copsarebastards 12y agoAmazon didn't invent AWS Dedicated Instances for security, they invented them for money. Now they can sell services to people who, for example, fall under HIPAA. And often those people don't care about security either--they just care about complying with regulation so they can do business. Security is pretty black and white. There are a limited number of people who have reason to look at your data. If people other than those people can see your data, then you aren't secure. Amazon is typically not part of that group.
