100% agree with you. I took a corporate training, and at one point crammed for the developer cert. It it just marketing. There is never a question where the answer is "Just run this service on EC2 yourself". It is about maximizing your usage of AWS services.


Platform dependency/lockin is never mentioned as a con[cern].


Running on EC2 is hardly ever the correct answer. I’ve had to deploy to EC2 over the years and every method is a pain.

Just use Docker, there are plenty of services where deployment is simply - “hand your container to us and we run it”.

Even the most complicated popular ways to deploy Docker are simpler than deploying to a VM and a lot less error prone.
