I think that statement about EC2 is a little too strong. You definitely shouldn't be managing individual EC2 instances in most cases, and you probably shouldn't be deploying directly to EC2. But if you're running EKS (Kubernetes) or ECS (non-k8s containers), then you're probably going to get more bang for your buck with EC2 nodes than Fargate nodes, especially if you have a large cluster.

That's a good distinction. Maybe instead of saying avoid EC2 what we should be saying is try to utilize AWS' managed services whenever possible.

Yup, that's generally true. Otherwise, you really might not be better off with AWS.
