I don't agree with you there. If the workload works best on XFs, it
doesn't matter what the underlying storage device is. e.g. if it's a
fsync heavy workload, it will still perform better on XFS on EC2
than btrfs on EC2...

You'd be wrong about that. There are as many good uses of cloud
services as there are bad ones, yet the same decisions about storage
need to be made even when services are remotely hosted....

Cheers,

Dave.
