I think you'd need a pretty large sample set before you came to any reasonable conclusion.

I've been running ~10 nodes for AdGrok for the last 3 months, and we've already had one node fail (in that it wouldn't respond to any ec2 cli command to shut down or even terminate).

That hardware failure rate is about what I'd expect if it was our own colo and our own machines. Stuff always breaks.
