They will hopefully introduce a new "classic" (as an abstraction over VPC) at some point, unless they want to lose many low-end customers to "easier" clouds.
Having this level of control can be nice, but most of it really needs to be optional because for most deployments it does nothing other than add an excessive amount of unneeded complexity.
Some of the APIs are outright hostile, e.g. 'delete_vpc' which makes you track down half a dozen dependencies (without providing hints about which those might be) before you're allowed to delete a VPC.

- mbell 12y ago> unless they want to lose many low-end customers to "easier" clouds. I've never gotten the impression that AWS is interested in building a 'cloud' for those less technically inclined. Heroku and others fill that void, EC2 is where you move after Heroku doesn't fit the bill and before dedicated hardware does.
- wahnfrieden 12y agoBeanstalk tries to serve that Heroku-level market, I think.
