This just isn’t true. AWS is very clear about pricing and provides pretty good tooling for analysis. Complex infrastructure will have complex costs though. AWS has its problems a’plenty, but unclear costs isn’t one in my opinion.
No. Like I said, “complex infrastructure will have complex costs,” but that doesn’t mean the pricing is unclear. Maybe you can give me an example of a service for which you believe the pricing is ambiguous? I have worked with AWS across hundred of accounts for years and while I have sometimes needed to implement better systems to track my spend it was never because pricing was unclear.
I agree, works fine for my stuff, but I’m pretty heavy on vanilla ec2, RDS, ec.
I can see some people running some of the more complicated products and getting flustered. Some of the compound stuff where you’re paying extra transaction costs on top of the serverless things

So Netflix built this tool just for fun then? Obviously they feel AWS’ tools are lacking.
