Yes. I’ve found that the amount you have to learn to use a managed service often equals or exceeds the amount you have to learn to run something on EC2 or on-prem. The automation/management costs of AWS or equivalent are a lot higher than people think and not significantly different from the costs to learn Linux and enough networking to do an “old-fashioned” deploy.
