AWS used to be easy, but over the last decade it's become a specialization. Every time I wander back to it, there's another layer of complexity in the way towards doing something simple.
- gambler 8y agoI agree. It seems like a deliberate strategy. Amazon is trying to create a breed of highly paid AWS experts who will be keenly interested in promoting AWS, because their valued knowledge is provider-specific and not transferable. Similar to how Microsoft created all those MCPs who tried to push Microsoft tech everywhere regardless of how well it fit the task.
- sonnyblarney 8y agoIt's mostly just the natural evolution of catering to their #1 entity - large corps. I don't think they care about the long tail. The 'specialization' may just be an advantage, maybe not.
