I'm not surprised at all. When I design a web app, I'll design it around AWS infrastructure so that they're the "Ops" in my "DevOps" title. They handle everything about web app development that I don't care to.

I wanted to come and type that up here; when we do apps, web, scaling, cdn, file storage, trivial SSL etc we just prep for AWS. All the scripts are there as most people ask for it and it always works. With their solid offerings and constant price drops I would see no reason to ever move. It's all the stuff so painful once and now is all such a warm bath.

  > "I would see no reason to ever move." (Obligatory) Apart from the single political point of control. AWS is to web apps what GoDaddy is to DNS and Verisign is to SSL.

    Could you justify your relating? Your relating basically suggest any one's father is any father to his son/daughter. I could not agree that for any child, they are fathers treat them equal good/bad... In summary, it's find to be alert, but be sure to not over-generalize...

    You're right, actually. I've dealt with all three, AWS is definitely more friendly (if we're talking about support here) but they all have the monopoly. AWS, honestly, is the only one that actually has an advantage. Verisign is overpriced, GoDaddy is just a typical domain registrar.
