Amazon's APIs and infrastructure automation can give small teams a lot of leverage to run massive amounts of infrastructure and quickly scale, but things with a small, fixed set of infrastructure might be worth a look on VMs, etc That doesn't make sense to me. Imagine you're paying ~$50,000/month for AWS and make good use of its features (of course if you're just running EC2 instances, using AWS adds little value). While that might sound costly, in my opinion it's still way too little to justify the additional $10,000/month Enterprise Support would cost. Using Enterprise Support would increase the bill by 20% in this case! In my opinion Enterprise Support only makes sense if your monthly AWS bill is close to or more than $150,000/month, as otherwise Enterprise Support is a quite expensive additional item on the bill, or if you require the additional escalation possibilities in case of problems that come with Enterprise Support.
