Super easy? Getting that setup for the first time from zero knowledge will probably take a few days. And that's before understanding all the intricacies like your AWS bill, the hidden costs of cloud, properly securing IAM and setting up your VPC etc etc

Not once in my entire career have I seen people successfully avail themselves of the cloud's purported benefits. I have, however, seen a lot of happy account managers in Las Vegas during Re:Invent, oh yes.

Comparably easy, yes. I'm not talking specifically about AWS btw, but even there it is easy.

If someone has zero knowledge, then everything will take them a long time, including hosting on-prem or so.

I got downvoted for saying something similar for standing up a web app from scratch and getting it deployed securely.

You are absolutely correct
