I've seen this as well. "Timeline from internal IT for provisioning a box and deploying our app is 6 months, and subsequent changes go through a ticketing system with a 2 week average turnaround. Or, we can have it running ourselves on AWS in 30 minutes."

Shit. So, you're saying that my mess of a team is kinda awesome by implementing reliable production-ready deployments within 2-4 weeks, and implementing changes to environments within like 30 minutes ("set key foo to bar in configs please?") to a week ("we need persistence!").

I guess IT in this place really is getting up to speed.

Yeah, that sounds spookily similar to the process we had, including the ticketing system changes timeline.
