Imagine you running large database workload and AWS say you need reboot because underlying hardware start having issue.

Live migration can help you in that case.

1. use RDS

2. if you want to run your own you’d better know how HA setups work and you can lose at least a machine at ANY point in time (not just when AWS warns you the hardware is failing)

RDS is a joke unless you use aurora. Necessary downtime for a database upgrade? Try again Amazon.
