My funny story is built on the idea that AWS is Hotel California for your data.
A customer had an interest in merging the data from an older account into a new one, just to simplify matters. Enterprise data. Going back years. Not even leaving the region.
The AWS rep in the meeting kinda pauses, says: "We'll get back to you on the cost to do that."
The sticker shock was enough that the customer simply inherited the old account, rather than making things tidy.
