This has happened before as a tech manager in different companies. When looking to implement some new technology (say, a new Cassandra like database) I have two options: either a) I choose ScyllaDB, and have to go through all the "additional vendor" internal process, that with ISO27001 gets terribly bureaucratic; or b) I start using DynamoDB or Keyspaces transparently and let the current AWS bill increase. For me it has always been a no brainer to avoid the bureaucratic pain.
