What makes you think the process for getting a new EC2 instance won't get the same amount of red tape as a physical instance over time?

In some companies, pre paid takes a whole lot of time and paperworks, while post paid only need invoices and maybe half an hour meeting with higher ups to explain the cost.

Because you only talk to finance not IT.

Because compared to a staff of 50 doing anything the costs of an ec2 instance for a week are irrelevant?

Because finance already has AWS in system as a vendor?

Because pricing is public?

Because costs hit your budget not ITs so you have more authority?

Orgs can easily spend 5x what it would cost internally on AWS because of friction avoiding factors like this.
