So you are claiming that there are only two companies that have successfully run a business on AWS?
The reason for managed cloud is the same reason for using any other vendor. To let you focus on your core competencies that give you a competitive advantage. Do you also think companies shouldn’t use Github, Microsoft, Workday, Oracle, SalesForce, Atlassian, etc.?
Do you know how much infrastructure you can buy for the fully allocated code of one employee?
Maybe they know something that you don’t know...
Seeing that even Amazon admits that only 5% of Enterprise workloads are on any cloud provider, who is arguing that it is always the right choice?
I command a higher than (local) market salary for an individual contributor in no small part because of my expertise when it comes to AWS, but I’m the first person to tell someone who asks me for advice when it doesn’t make sense to bother with the complexity and cost of a cloud provider and just use a colo, VPS, or just use AWS Lightsail (AWS’s answer to companies like Linode).
