AWS bread and butter is EC2, S3, and Lambda.
The reason AWS is focusing so much on Gen-AI is because they’re in the shovel-and-pick business during the gold rush. This guy’s beef should be with the over-excited gold speculators, not the general store purveyors of denim and panning equipment.

But in the mean time EC2 hasn’t gotten a meaningful feature that’s not to accelerate training or inference since GP3, and people folks are backing away from serverless-first designs because cost-control and other features we’ve been screaming for for several years aren’t being addressed.

Aws serverless is a scam also. Lambda with step functions just to run some functions in order without having to scale servers?
Its just ridiculous how much complexity it adds.

In theory, running a serverless function can provide adequate response times at costs that are unreachable with private servers. It’s basically those services that would run your application for few minutes every time it received a request, but with theoretically lower overhead since it’s supposed to be a function instead of a full application.
