Respectfully, I'm going to disagree. I consult full time on AWS cost optimization / reduction / understanding.
If you blindly run things on AWS without an understanding of the costing model, that'll work for a time. As you scale, you start to realize "oh my god it runs on money."
There are myriad ways around that, but a blanket "never use AWS" isn't going to address it constructively.
