That is where the margins come from on AWS. They are charging 10x the cost of the hardware. Even the AWS well architected framework says that there are always tradeoffs between disaster recovery and cost. For your business cost is more important than having your servers replicated in many time zones.

Servers aren’t replicated. As a matter of fact.. aws began out of unused machines for ephemeral servers
