The elasticity of resource allocation. It is really useful in cases where the business flows require a raised infrastructure setup only in specific moments in time.

Its expensive for what you get. Everything in the cloud is code. So the learning curve for an organization is immense. (Imagine even your security team, network engineers and front line access management level one people having to take months of scripting training to perform basic functions you can do now with a few clicks). The end game for AWS is not your best solution, but finding ways to get you to use the highest number of AWS products and solutions and settle for them even when they are far below enterprise standards.
