This sounds like it goes back to my comment in that you aren't AWS' target customer in that you are fine with a bare bones provider and setting up handling all of this yourself.
It's shown that many people want all of this outsourced for them and will pay a premium to do so. I always find it a bit silly that every time an AWS service is announced it is compared to some bare minimum other provider that is out there that is cheaper. Of course it is going to be cheaper, but that really is irrelevant.
- jorangreef 11y agoNo, the context here was "EC2 Dedicated Hosts" and pinned VMs vs dedicated servers, which is a fair comparison. Or were you actually speaking about things like S3 or WorkMail and traffic spikes related to those?
- res0nat0r 11y agoPeople pay a premium for the currently 50+ other integrated services in the AWS ecosystem they can leverage vs. spending time and money doing it themselves if they went with another provider, dedicated hosts are no different re: pricing.
