You're charging people to manage their environments (providing expertise) and complaining about needing to develop additional skills to do so efficiently.

If you have the data with price/performance comparisons, I'd think this is something the rest of us would be interested in.

That is a straw man argument. AWS isn't the only way to efficiently manage infrastructure, and it can be argued it isn't even efficient, full stop.

Your making value decisions based on expertise in your existing delivery methods and trying to map them 1-1 to aws features, that may or may not map 1-1. You keep disparaging aws' pricing (stupidly expensive, serious premium), without providing an alternative/baseline.

Again, if you have numbers and not broad statements we'd appreciate them.
