Orders of magnitude higher than the cost and risk of real sysadmins and real hardware. Most applications are being developed around RDS, SQS and all the other packaged services that AWS offers, and certified AWS TechOps dudes are becoming evermore stupid Amazon drones.... which is getting these companies in a vendor lock situation that I hadn't seen since the 80's. It's like Microsoft all over again but now using the very same Open Source technology that we helped build all these years. Not sure if AWS is even fully legal, for example is RDS technology Open Source too even though it wraps MySQL and PostgreSQL ? Is there a technicality they are exploiting ? What's the MQ technology around SQS, are they releasing that ? Scary stuff when you see how much of the Internet is on AWS....
