Newbies/hobbyists shouldn't be using aws/azure over digital ocen/vultr/linode unless their hobby is learning aws/azure. Most startups shouldn't either.. if you can't afford to hire an aws/azure expert you shouldn't be using it. You are probably doing it in a way that will cost you in the future.


> if you can't afford to hire an aws/azure expert you shouldn't be using it.

Your logic is a self-contradiction:

- You need an expert to use AWS/Azure

- It is unsafe to even learn AWS/Azure without already being an expert.

Where do these experts come from? Osmosis? If there's no safe way to learn them, and being an expert is a prerequisite to using them, then you've created an artificial self-limiting supply shortage.

This is another argument that defeats itself and shows that these limits are absolutely needed to stop a mindshare loss/lack of expertise.


Where do these experts come from?

In my case, working for a company that gave me admin access from day one with no practical experience with AWS.

Even though I haven’t done anything stupid (yet) and think I know enough not to now, I wouldn’t recommend that....
