What happens when the traffic for your site spikes suddenly? What happens when there is no web traffic? Is it possible to handle planned high incoming traffic without downtime for your application? Is it possible to do all the above without human intervention? If a high performing instance is chosen in the first place, it may handle heavy incoming traffic but what if there is not so much traffic as expected, you will be paying for idle resources.
