Tangential non-sequitor:

> self-hosted on AWS

People forgot what self-hosting actually means.

I disagree with that analysis. That basically means running some binary yourself, with the alternative being buying a SaaS product that is hosted by the developer. You may think that "self-hosting" means having your own physical server, but I have never heard anyone else use the expression like that.

Meanings can evolve over time. I tend to think of self hosted as installing from code and managing myself, whether on local hardware or remote.

The OP wrote "self-hosted Jenkins", which has a different meaning
