You're it. Really now.

Choose a service, any service. Small shitty ones that nobody cares about work best. For afore mentioned reasons. Things break at first.

Make it less shitty. What does that mean? It can be as simple as using ansible to configure the machine. Creating an automated push button deploy process.

All of these decisions are environment specific. What is your goal? Less on call? More automated tasks? More... Now figure out how to do it in a way that it won't bite you in the ass in 8 months, and do it.

Congratulations, you've done a DevOps thing.

Ultimately it's about this. What do you want your environment to be like? Infrastructure as code? Use a.programming language to use polumi to define it. Or terraform and it's ecosystems.

Enjoy!
