If I asked the question today I would get a different answer: to run an AWS estate requires people who cost 2 or 3x what the old crowd cost.
I don't say they are right, but that's what I hear.
- NBJack 4y agoI think it's fair to look at what you need to make it happen. Do you invest in the folks you have, paying for their training on your cloud of choice? (I personally have found even baseline training for a cloud essential to understand effective usage patterns) Or do you hire new folks who already have the training in said cloud, but now need to be sourced and brought up to speed? Both cost money, and we haven't even reached the design phase. IMHO, whether by design or by accident, cloud solutions have only gotten more complicated with the sheer volume of choices you must make. Remember when AWS could fit its entire offering in a single hamburger menu drop down?
