Just signed up to say that I'm an AWS Certified Solution Architect and I've used none of them in production and don't even know what most of them are.

And no we don't use CDK or CloudFormation!

That's because AWS is creating very few new "core" products. Everything seems to be a hosted version of software someone else created. Or perhaps a product to hop on the latest tech fad (Blockchain, LLMs, etc.)

Yeah true. It's all ElasticWeForkedSomeOssStuff and the likes. Each fork of which is 10x more expensive than running it on a flat EC2 or EKS cluster.
