Indeed. Could someone explain to me the point of using an AWS instance in the case of the OP, whose site is apparently very busy, versus renting a bare metal server in a datacenter? As an example, the site in my sig, which admittedly has much lower requirements, since I only have a handful of users, has been hosted very reliably on a rented server at online.net for the past two years on their smallest server for 15 euros/month. Average load sits at 0.3%. Using this feels like having a machine in your facility, only better protected. I use several of those for redundancy.
