The main problem with AWS is their outrageous pricing on some aspects like traffic. And some very unexpected pricing nuances which could burn thousands of dollars in a blink of an eye.
While AWS engineers are more competent, may be you don't need that much competency to run simple server or two. And expense structure will be more predictable.
- lucidguppy 2y agoRight here - network is expensive. Another issue is cost estimation. Servers have prices, rack space has prices, engineers have salaries. You now literally have people hired now to work on how to calculate infra costs on aws (finops). Spot prices fluctuate. So what are the real savings in FTEs?
