The existing set up works with the API database, replication and tile generation (and overpass and planet dumps) all on the same box. It could be set up separately of course which would require someone with the time and knowledge to do so. The API is the least demanding I think, but tiles take a lot of disk space, and the PostGIS database that makes them needs a fair bit of RAM (and SSD speeds I think). I think that cloud hosting offers little in the way of good disk space and RAM, without costing a fair bit. And that brings me to another issue - cost.
