Nice! Way to go for non-prod environments. (For prod you'd need some redundancy at least.)

Quick question: how long would it take to provision and set up another server if this one dies?

One thing however to note, is that by having a different non-prod and prod environment, it will be possible to test only the application, and not the infra.

Which means, that if they want to test what it will look like running in cloud for prod, they are going to either need a pre-prod environment or go yolo
