You unfortunately get what you pay for.
AWS is more expensive than God, but I'll be damned if you can't have a throat to choke in less than 10 minutes whenever something like this happens.

Opened a ticket and support had it back up again within about 10 minutes, turned out to be a failed CPU fan which caused an overheat condition and made it so the system wouldn't complete the boot. They swapped the fan and it came up. It's the only failure I've had in years of dealing with them and was just impressed how quickly a physical failure event like that got handled.
Datacenters in my country usually had some rooms with tower servers 20 years ago here, well my first colo was for the tower server I brought in the large backpack:-). But density requirements, cold/hot aisles etc. prevailed and towers are generally considered inefficient for the datacenter purposes.
And then you have Hetzner datacenter that probably all people running DCs I know would ridicule, but they would not be able to respond to fan replacement at the same time. I wonder how many rack server chassis are recycled each year because the manufacturer just won't let you reuse them with new motherboard, power supply due to new shape, design, ports placement etc.
