Our customer (300k+ employees) switched to AWS a couple of years ago and I simply hate it so much. The “predictable, scalable” service we’re using, MSK, is a pain to develop against. Log files are all over the place, thanks to microservices and because no one, myself included, has a clue on how to make them manageable again. AWS’s graphical user interface is a constantly changing mess. I hate clicking my way through a GUI just so I can download individual log files manually.

I wonder how you folks manage to work with AWS and not hate it.

This is just a bad setup.

Ship logs others places, clicking in the GUI outside of testing things out is a mistake, use Terraform or CDK or Cloudformation.

I've managed very large fleets of servers and its dead simple if you have a good setup.
