Yeah, agreed cloud is bad. I have one question though. Who is going to keep updating bloody ubuntu or any other linux distro along with all the packages that may break? Who is going to enable automatic database backups or do backups with 1 click? I've done these things countless times and they are still time consuming and involve guesswork every single time.

And you don't have that problem on public cloud VMs?

In AWS, AMIs are kept up to date and all you have to do is roll your instances inside an ASG (which is a 1 button thing) to have them updated with zero downtime.

RDS takes backups, out of the box with zero configuration, and further customization is very easy.
