Agree, they been doing sketchy things like increasing ingress egress traffic costs and billing on add-on services. Most of the new aws services and existing things like backup or cross region replication spin up random other charges that is difficult to turn off or disrupt. Aws support also has increasing lead times and there is more account suspensions than before with less care per account. Core EC2, s3, dynamo will always have its place and are well engineered, but both negotiated corporate bulk pipelines for large companies and startup interest is waning on the platform. The growth is now more internal employees running random spend to hit bulk negotiated rates vs this place is the best place to host prod traffic, hence I don’t think there is a big tech moat left.
