The difference is that if AWS goes down, I know for a fact that it'll be back up without me doing anything.

If my own dedicated server goes down, I'm going to need to call my admin at 3am 10 times just to wake him up.

You know that AWS will come back up. You definitely don’t know whether your own instances will come back or if you’ll need to redeploy it all.

Why do you assume that the small dedicated server has a higher probability to come back?

If youe admin isn't competant enough to setup logging or notifications, how is it going to be better when your Cloud VM runs out of storage or doesn't reboot properly due to AWS swapping out hardware?
