Yeah, my example communication was a bit contrived. More likely a centralized IT group would assist when a division's IT isn't able or willing to spend cycles to reduce their AWS spend.

But even so, the point stands. There's a lot of non-wasteful AWS spend happening that is frustrating when you look at the raw numbers and consider how much cloud capability you could outright buy from Oxide and have a similar developer experience.

Oxide appears to be a shoo-in for companies that used to run a bunch of racked Dell/HP servers, migrated to AWS, hate their monthly AWS bills, and still have the server rooms they used to have.
