A lot of AWS is built on open-source. This is obviously ignoring hardware costs. I don’t know if it is all that ridiculous anymore. These models are very good at wiring together open-source systems. The world is crazy right now…
AWS has over 200 services, so that's a little over $2 per service. Yeah, a lot of it is built on OSS, but there is a ton of it, and there is also a lot of work involved in building the APIs and web UI, and making it scalable , secure, and resilient.
Now, you might be able to make a version of some small subset of aws services that runs works ok for a small scale for with relatively simple needs, for that many tokens, but I don't think that's what they were going for.
I’m on your side in that I would never take a contract to actually do this, but…
If we swapped out the IAM backend for something extremely simple like just private keys (one per allowed service or JWT-style list all services in the key), then we could have something that looks/feels pretty similar. With a 2$ token spend.
Not at all the same but it would look/feel pretty close.
Is green room a word? I've heard clean room. And green field. Is it just an amalgamation?
It is. But doesn’t fit with the rest of the sentence.
“In a television studio, theatre or concert hall, the room where performers await their entrance.” https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/green_room
Not sure but a green screen version of AWS for $500 is totally plausible and a decent metaphor for what you’d get with AI anyway.
Maybe a green field clean room implementation :)
Its where the band can hang out before the show.
author mistook the word

IAM for example is in house and integrates with every service. Sometimes in deep ways.

lol, you’ve got that goblet of koolaid with me! Equal parts horrifying and interesting that it might not be impossible
The hard parts are not based on OSS
Exactly. It's like someone saying, that EC2 is OpenStack. Well, yes, but actually no :)
But, like, on paper it is, and on paper is where the prompt lives.
You’re getting lost buddy it’s definitely ridiculous.
You, my friend, have drunk from the goblet of koolaid.
Careful dude, that's not a goblet of koolaid, it's a bottle of Amazon Delivery Driver Urine!!!
lol but at least in comes in a nice cup then
lolz. build aws. no mistakes.
