That's not entirely true - the files you put on your AMI snapshot stay there (for non-EBS), and EBS instances retain their files from restart to restart.
But if you're on Amazon - there are services readily available to manage things like CDNs and MySQL etc. There is some extra complexity in places with putting things up in the "Cloud" but there are benefits to. If you watch out of the cons, and can manage them, you get the pros - like anything else.
