I think the idea is it comes pre-prepared for people who cannot spawn an environment from scratch on AWS or any other cloud provider for their purpose

To be fair AWS does offer that https://aws.amazon.com/workspaces/pricing/?nc=sn&loc=3. But, Vagon is somehow cheaper than AWS, which I almost never see.

As a non dev-opsy person, I do not think i can create an environment to use. To be fair though, I cannot understand amazon pricing compared to vagon's enough to have an opinion eitherway

Note: I have not used this service before.

I'm pretty sure this is an almost exact competitor to Vagon. You're not creating an environment. It's a full desktop right out of the box.
