Hiring a person to do 'docker compose up' for you is orders of magnitude cheaper than whatever AWS-specific knowldege is needed to not have AWS crap its bed.

If their AWS spend is $1M/year, it is not as simple as "docker compose up" on bare metal.

not just "not have AWS crap its bed", but whatever sacrifices you need to perform in order for amazon not to come back with a bill that just so happens to be $1M higher than you expected it to be because of some gotcha that amazon profits off of, like (say) routing stupid traffic to one of their servers, currently occupied by you, that would be idle otherwise. Nice "mistake" to make.
