I see, so I'm doing it wrong you say? But I never said I was using Amazon. I'm using an internal cloud service at my company. It does not offer any managed services. Also when I do use AWS for clients, I _sometimes_ use managed services¹, but most of those lock you in to Amazon. Some clients don't care, some do. They are paying, so I don't care either way. In either case, I spend very little time babysitting infrastructure, just FYI, even when I use bare instances. And in my opinion² if people aren't careful about managed services, then they won't have any OS knowledge anymore, and will just be left with product knowledge. Sure, managed services make things easier, but they also make your sysadmin muscles weak. 1: Aurora DB for example. That one I like because there's no lock in. I can always move my tables to a standalone MySQL. 2: As someone who is 100% comfortable using bare Linux without having to use containers, managed services, control panels or even google searches to keep my stuff running, and have been doing so since the early 90s.
