I fully agree that there's a different strategy for before the line is crossed, one that is often more humane, more freedom-respecting, and cheaper to boot. Too often those strategies are sadly under-funded. That's beside the poin

Again, you are dealing with low-level primitives. You can provision an EC2 VM with multiple GPUs at high cost and use it to host nginx. That is not a correct configuration. There are much cheaper ways available to you. It's ridiculous

There's very real differences between NAT gateways and VPC Gateway Endpoints. NAT gateways are not purely hands-off, you can attach additional IP addresses to NAT gateways to help them scale to supporting more instances behind the NAT

It's a design that is secure by default. If you have no NAT gateway and no VPC Gateway Endpoint for S3 (and no other means of Internet egress) then workloads cannot access S3. Networking should be closed by default, and it is. If the

Yeah, mainframes are all about cases where the uptime is critical. Most modern systems are good with offering 99.9% or 99.99% reliability, with the understanding that trying to offer more than that just gets more and more expensive. Well...
