This won't last long.

Can we trust that it is designed to generate apps that utilise the least AWS chargeable resources to run?

No, we can't.

AWS can't provide this service if there is a perceivable conflict of interest.

AWS has for years spun resources for you via various wizards and "service of services" and it's not uncommon that the resources are wildly cost-inefficient vs spinning up your own.

Huh. That’s like saying they can’t provide their “well-architected” guides unless they can prove it’s the least chargeable (and obviously there are other ways to judge a system beyond price).

I am so torn on AWS best practices. We currently support about 4 generations of "best-practice" AWS account baselines.

The AWS IAM/account creation and billing calculations have been a gordian knot by design for years.
