Someone needs to answer to Compliance, to InfoSec, to Finance. Someone needs to make sure that they all understand exactly what production looks like in their language. Compliance wants to know whether we keep EU data in the EU. InfoSec wants to know whether all our code in production passed security review. Finance wants to prevent costs from spiraling out of control and to judge which projects to fund.
Good luck trying to get AWS's "platform" to do any of that as a managed service, out of the box and without any in-house engineering time!
