Yeah. The - possibly insoluble - problem is that if you don't go through all the approvals exercises, the people whose time would be taken up approving your thing are still there, drawing a salary. So there's no obvious cost/benefit analysis to do, or not one that's politik.

But I like the idea of just doing it using cloud. Once a cloud vendor is approved, all its services are implicitly approved as well. Nice.

Exactly! When we start a new project the AWS Console is just a big tool box we open to see what's available that we can use to deliver the solution.
