I'm not particularly experienced at the enterprise level but I sometimes roleplay the conversations I expect they have in my head ;-)
I can just picture a department needing to do some CI on a Mac, having access to a certain (high) budget on AWS, and going with Amazon's offering rather than put together the business case to authorize the MacStadium spend. Or if it's under their approval amount, figuring out who's responsible for the thing when inevitably staff change around, etc. If the company doesn't bat an eyelid at another $800/mo on the AWS bill, I can see why many people would be tempted to click the button and get on with their work day :-)
I would appreciate people who live in this enterprisey world to fact check me on this as my experiences in this matter are rather limited..
- bombcar 6y agoI can confirm that if you have a large contract already setup it is much easier to add to it than go through the approval process for outside spend. I can click a button that costs us $5k and nobody blinks an eye, but I have to request permission to spend $100 to do the same elsewhere.
