The complexity of the cloud exists because it wasn't designed very well and all reactionary.

You look at AWS and it feels like things are getting tacked on because there's "demand" instead of thinking of what the platform should look like and building it out. Every service is done by a different team that doesn't talk to each other as well. There's no consistency anywhere.

It's been blurred a long time ago so how do you make this distinction? They all have PaaS features / services.

You had to pay to begin with so what's free?
