I heavily agree. I used to work on a LAMP stack where the deployment was just dumping the code into an EC2 instance. All is fine until there's a weird system dependency error that isn't documented because the AMI being used has just been hand built over the last three years. Have fun tracking down that specific PHP system dependency when AL2 goes EOL. I don't want to write code that doesn't have _documented_ dependencies on system packages. Even just a Dockerfile serves as solid documentation on what we're using.
