I don’t get why people assume others are just mindless fruit flies in these threads. Maybe OP just doesn’t want to fiddle with technology and pays Amazon to simply get it done. That’s what I’d do, there’s no need to turn every project into excercise in orchestrating open-source software.
- wkat4242 4y agoAWS is wayyy too complicated to "simply get it done" for a single user. It makes no sense to learn all that if you just do it for yourself. In fact I have to do a bit of AWS for work and I hate it with a passion. It's spread over a ton of services each with their own console (that look & feel like they were designed by completely different people), lots of overlap between services, complex billing. Configuration often needs to be done with complex json files. Ugh. Perhaps it makes sense for a major enterprise where you have orchestration for everything. But I would never pick this total mess for a personal project. Azure has a bad name but at least everything is integrated in the same console pretty nicely. But really if you just need an instance of something for personal use, DigitalOcean, Scaleway etc are so much simpler. And cheaper, and most stuff is just included in the monthly price so you don't get billing surprises.
