@airshipper you'll notice how all AWS 'deals' involve them 'generously' providing 'training'. What you don't see is that the training only for AWS' proprietary APIs & processes, and it's largely non-transferrable. It's designed to create consutants who *only* know how to provision AWS services, thereby effectively locking them (and their customers) into the AWS monoculture. MSFT is desperately trying to copy that approach with Azure. @cjnielsen
