Comment Comment by pojzon Deployed few services on ecs, nat gateway, shared elb, certificate and route53.Total cost 30$ per day ~900$ per month.You can accomplish the same for a fraction of that cost.The convenience you talk about comes with a huge bill.If I add reserved instances/savings plan, probably gonna drop to 600-700$, but still… I can setup that myself on my local lab for around 5$ per month.So the knowledge required to setup that and hardware is worth around 695$ per month.Thats why Cloud Providers are biggest employers of old sysadmins ;) parent pojzon 4 years ago
