Sure, but that’s always a tradeoff.
If you just use EC2, though, you’ll find many other providers of virtual or dedicated servers for rent for much cheaper, with similar performance and reliability.
If you’re fully integrated in the AWS ecosystem, it is much more convenient, but also of course more expensive.
That said, unless you’re in silicon valley, your hiring costs will be so much lower than amazon’s that even your own admin team might end up cheaper than using Amazon’s.

- bpicolo 9y agoJust using EC2 is a corner case. The huge benefit is the wide variety of hosted services you get to take advantage of and not roll on your own.
