What if you let teams select from internal security teams, internal scaling teams, etc?
You can run a wide range of things on EC2, but I'd be willing to bet certain sets of things dominate.
If the solution google has internally really is the best solution available, let it compete. It'll win until it's no longer the best.

- Hominem 16y agoRight, I don't have to implement a queuing system because a guy down the hall did it. But he sunk his budget into developing it and I get to swoop in and benefit. That is not a bad thing, that is how corporations are supposed to work, it would be worse if we burned two budgets implementing a queuing system, but it is a bit unfair that he burns his budget for my benefit. Maybe if I paid him "licensing" fees it would be more equitable, but then we have another porcupine to hug, managing all the internal licensing.
