I don't find that very expensive. For a years service on 1 VM, its $600, which is cheaper than the 10 hour minimum that it would take for an in-house dev to set it up and maintain it for a year as a bare bones platform. Plus there's all the other features like multi-user authorization, logging, plugins to other systems, graphs of deployments, secure keychains, etc. that we get for the same price and none of which we need to develop or maintain ourselves. It's worth it.
