Sounds like AWS is incredibly simple to use if you have your developers trying to minimize costs instead of actually getting it to work. Which is a lot better than other products out there which may be cheaper but end up not working as advertised after spending half a year ‘integrating’.

"Incredibly simple to use" compared to what?

How hard is it to get the same functionality out of a set of rented servers? Or a fully hosted level-7 IaS? Or a fast starting VPS park?

The allegedly benefit of AWS is that you just focus on development, and let Amazon handle all the OPS noise. Well, minimizing costs is a lot of OPS noise.
