Obviously it's not true, but if you want to put the following on your VPS:
> • Ansible roles for PostgreSQL (with automated s3cmd backups + Prometheus metrics) • Hardening tasks (auditd rules, ufw, SSH lockdown, chrony for clock sync) • Rolling web app deploys with rollback + Cloudflare draining • Full monitoring with Prometheus, Alertmanager, Grafana Agent, Loki, and exporters • TLS automation via Certbot in Docker + Ansible
You'll spend a heck of a lot of time on setting it up originally, and you will spend a lot of time keeping it up-to-date, maintaining it, and fixing the inevitable issues that will occur.
If their bill was 200K a year, why not. But at 24K a year, 25% of an employee's salary, it is negligible and most likely a bad choice.
