## What the models said for it

- "AWS/GCP Artifact Registry (pay-per-GB, often cheap under ~$10–50/month for light use). Avoid if budget is *extremely* tight." (Grok 4.20, Artifact registries)
- "If you want build-it-yourself document processing in the cloud, AWS or Azure-style services are often better fits." (GPT-5.4 mini, Document processing)
- "Want less operational work and already run in a cloud: use that cloud's managed load balancer" (GPT-6 Luna, Load balancers)
- "AWS partner ecosystem for cloud-connected IoT/IIoT security use cases" (GPT-5.4 mini, OT/IoT security)

## And against it

- "such as AWS or Microsoft Azure, offer backup solutions, they do not guarantee their backups and actually state that the customer is responsible for correctly setting up backup policies" (Claude Haiku 4.5, Backup and DR)
- "Native controls from AWS, Microsoft, or Google can be economical within one cloud, but their audit evidence and controls may not transfer cleanly across providers." (Perplexity Sonar, AI governance)
- "Microsoft and AWS likewise document security configuration responsibilities for their desktop services, so a familiar brand alone isn’t a guarantee." (GPT-6 Luna, Virtual desktops)
- "The AWS outage of October 2025 occurred when a latent race condition inside DynamoDB's automated DNS management system caused problems" (Claude Haiku 4.5, Managed DNS)
