These basic gaps in cloud hosting providers' tooling have created a rather large cottage industry of companies that exit only to make the tools to fill in the gaps -- like VPC cluster management, security compliance, whatever. The perverse side of it is, it costs to host the third party tooling as well, so cloud providers get more money from you setting up these tools so that you don't burn away all your money. However, they don't get more money from plugging the holes in their own tooling. So they have no incentive to fix it on their own.
