It seems reasonable to make some of these cost comparisons more visible.
ie If working on a new product or feature to understand upfront "this managed service is x% more then more bare bones" etc.
essentially turning an alchemy into a science

I think a lot of people make the mistake of assuming AWS is just an easy off-the-shelf thing you can just grab, but if you use it seriously it's a full-time job and its own expertise.
Source: I've done some AWS certifications, never was able to put them into practice though. I've also worked in multiple organizations that migrated to AWS, they all had a full-time team of people managing it.
It's a full-time, specialist job and you can't just palm it off to your engineers as a background thing.
