    Also what sort of company would give access to managing DNS and deploying ec2 instances to someone not in an operations role. Easiest way to run up your bills by introducing misconfigurations which can cost a lot if not rectified quickly.

    I’ve seen load balancer routing traffic across AZs unnecessarily where a single checkbox was not clicked, costing $500/month until it was discovered. Also devs who think they need a cluster of c5.2xlarge instances for a simple webapp, where most of the requests were serving javascript files, and needed to be moved to s3/cloudfront.

      Well, I’m not incompetent at my job like that so its not really a problem.

      The company is only 12 people, not a multinational.
