  3. Time cost • Spinning up resources on a real cloud

    environment takes time. • Time spent figuring out the correct configs → your system ships with shortcomings.
  4. Expenses • Leaving resources running over night and blow up

    your budget. • Over provisioning due to bad configuration.
  5. Learning • Complexity of AWS services and understanding how they

    interact with each other. • Learning curve and keeping up with updates.
