With all the job hopping that goes on in tech, there is a lot of Resume Driven Development. People want to use AWS because it will help them get their next job. I'm finally in a job that I'm happy with and can see myself staying here until retirement. I have noticed that has changed my technology recommendations. For example we recently started looking at configuration management tools. Ansible is the obvious choice from a resume perspective as it is very popular. I ended recommending Powershell DSC. Why, because our environment is mostly windows, the team is familiar with Powershell, and for our use case is much faster. Powershell DSC is not as popular so it won't help me get another job. When it comes time to expand the team, I can hire someone who understands configuration management tools or powershell, and get them up to speed in a day or two.
