LOL, this has been my experience working with AWS. "We can fire 3 sysadmins, because Amazon will handle all this ops work for us!"

But then also: "we need to hire 3 AWS Cloud Engineers, because administering AWS requires a bunch of ops work."

Also the AWS cloud engineers are so much more expensive because the AWS learning treadmill runs at a 10x speed compared to the on-prem one.

Our cloud engineers spend so much of their time simply keeping up with all the things they need to keep up with, even for workflows that have been running just fine, for years.

The on-prem engineers also need to be up to date, but the changes are more measured and easier to manage.

Decisions made by the uninformed aka idiots.

There’s a good case for aws, but if that’s the narrative… it’s time to be replaced by someone or something else
