That's not strictly true, most folks agree that cloud services typically have an "on the fly" type elastic nature.

At the end of the day there exists a hypervisor... Virtualization.

So do VPS providers. Ask for a VPS and you'll get it in the same amount of time as EC2.

The difference is only surrounding automated deployment (cloudformation) or services that are offered (RDS)
