asterisk users - Nov 2013 - Amazon, Asterisk and reliability beyond a hobby system?

Took me a while but I have finally embraced cloud computing and all the
benefits.
The only thing I have yet to feel comfortable about putting in the cloud is real
live Asterisk boxes to be used in production. I know it's being done because
as far as I know Twilio is using Amazon for their Asterisk boxes.
I have read all the fun articles on building hobby type systems and that's
all great.
What I really need to hear is from those that have deployed Asterisk in Amazon
or Digital Ocean and how many simultaneous calls they are pushing through it and
what the call quality and reliability has been.
Right now I am still using dedicated hardware but I could become much more
redundant and scale much faster using Amazon or Digital Ocean.
Thanks in advance for any information from those that have already been down
this road...

Just checking one more time to see if anyone has an opinion on this. I am
primarily interested in using a cloud type setup such as Amazon AWS for the
redundancy, easy backup and recovery options. It's not about price but the
idea that it will be very hard for a single piece of hardware to ruin my day.
