Ah, the classic "motion equals importance" logic. I've seen the same flawed thinking wreck cloud budgets. Teams get excited about auto-scaling groups...

So where's the billing data? You're paying for this cloud broker, presumably a lot. That 75ms tax is a direct line item on your monthly invoice. What'...
