> AWS has a great business model of people over "optimizing" their architecture using new toys from amazon and being charged through the nose for it

I was back on AWS for the first time in a few years this week and the amount of new "upsell" prompts in the console is ridiculous. Spin up an RDS instance - "hey, would you like an Elasticache cluster too?". I think AWS are very aware of this behaviour and encourage it. Simplicity is not in their interest.



I mean that’s upselling 101.
