Yeah, and when the server dies at 2am on a Sunday, nobody going to get any calls from our partners, that their clients cannot pay and they are loosing money because of us so when our website is going to be up on full capacity. Because the autoscaler dealt with it and all I got is a text that a faulty instance is gone and a healthy has been brought up.

I wonder how you would solve that with a few physical server.

They won't. I think a lot of these people are skeptical of cloud computing have never worked on a product that serves to millions of users every hour and get smashed during rush hours. To me, "why not just get bunch of bare metal computers" is laughable.
