I absolutely adore HashiCorp&#x27;s tools, but every time I read a sentence like this, I&#x27;m disappointed:<p>&gt; We&#x27;ll deploy the application to AWS for the getting started guide since it is popular and generally well understood, but Otto can deploy to many different infrastructure providers.<p>Okay, great! I&#x27;ll just go look at the infra types list and...oh, it&#x27;s only aws right now [0].<p>[0] - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ottoproject.io&#x2F;docs&#x2F;infra&#x2F;index.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ottoproject.io&#x2F;docs&#x2F;infra&#x2F;index.html</a><p>AWS isn&#x27;t just easy to setup and use, it&#x27;s also very expensive. On the free tier, things are wonderful and the world is fine, but if you&#x27;ve exhausted the free tier, you&#x27;re now paying a lot through the nose for little to no benefit. I pay Kimsufi less than $50&#x2F;mo for more storage, unmetered bandwidth, and more CPU on dedicated hardware at the cost of the AWS API. This makes using this tool and many other HashiCorp tools completely impossible to use for me because I&#x27;m not using AWS infrastructure. I can&#x27;t afford to shell out crazy high monthly bills for the overhead AWS adds only for the convenience of one tool.<p>This is disappointing, and quite frankly, a major turnoff to these sorts of tools.
