In AWS, you are not paying for CPU, you are paying for everything else (CPU probably sold on loss)

- Slighty modified open source infrastructure applications (PostgreSQL, etc.)

- Access management

- Brand

- Fancy deployment scripting (needed when > 15 VMs)

- egress cost (as mentioned in the article)

If you do not any of the above, you can roll out your own Redis and PSQL, or use a third party provider, Hetzner is often much better deal.
