>"Nobody seriously uses AWS/GCP/Azure to have a couple VMs or dedicated servers alone" It actually does happen. They build some software, deploy it on VM and have said software use cloudy database service that removes a headache of maintaining backups, standby, point in time recovery, secure data at rest. I have couple of shell scripts that do all of that and use Hetzner but I can imaging some org with enough money to not care about the price for convenience of somebody else taking care of your data.

Time to start charging corporations to use your shell scripts I guess They already pay for the cloud and someone to manage their cloud stuff I bet they would shell out half that if you offered your scripts. I think that just shows how nonsensical these cloud providers really are when you can just write some scripts to handle it

  >"Time to start charging corporations to use your shell scripts I guess" Believe me I do ;) I adapt those to particular products I develop for my clients. However not worth my time to bother releasing those in generic form. Suddenly I would have to satisfy bazillion specific constraints and requirements for generic users.
