He’s absolutely correct about the ridiculous complexity of cloud tooling. The number of services, features, knobs, etc., available in AWS is borderline comical. I’m skeptical that half of the products they have really fill a gap and solve problems people had. Who’s asking for all of these new services that are constantly being rolled out? There’s so much cruft in their product offerings. Promotion at AWS is kind of like how it is at Google now, where a product is launched because someone needs to get their L8, not because customers are asking for it.
