Personally I don't call that an advantage. Paying 3-5x times in monthly fees over the course of 5 years just so someone else can lifecycle the hardware. That doesn't even include the performance hit from using shared infrastructure compared to dedicated infrastructure.

Look at 37Signals saving $7 million over 5 years after leaving AWS.
