What information did i post that was incorrect?
I agree with you 100% you can use EBS! (which is an additional service mind you). Amazon provides you with low level raw infrastructure for which you have to manage and integrate yourself. This is great for large companies who have in house IT resources.
Amazon is great for raw infastructure, in fact we plan on use them for some additional and new servies in the future, along with some other larger cloud infrastructure providers.
ONCE AGAIN, We are not selling infrastructure, we are selling a fully managed redundant product for which traditional web masters can use and manage in the same way they've been doing so with traditional hosting.

We haven't experienced a second of downtime due to an outage. Content being served via the cloudfront cdn isn't affected at all. Cloud hosting is awesome for times like this.

My point exactly!!! It all comes down to redundancy. Amazon has been having issues since 2am last night!
Jason Glassberg, co-founder of security outfit Casaba LLC, called the issue "a big ol' black eye" for Amazon.
"Reliability is probably the No. 1 concern with cloud services," he said. "Amazon has worked long and hard to convince folks that their services were robust. This does not help the cause."
