And get the second order effect of one of those configuration options wrong and wake up to a huge AWS bill. And, yes, with a bit of groveling they'll probably refund you after you've sweated a bit--the first time at least.

Or worse, you fudge a YAML line and bring the application down.

There are tools to catch and prevent that sort of thing: Datree, AWS CloudFormation templates, and Sentinel, just to name a few. They apply and enforce different policies to prevent YAML/JSON (or “infrastructure as code”) misconfigurations.

(Disclaimer: I work with Datree, but not the others.)
