One of my cloud pet peeves is the over-complexity of setting up alerts and managing dashboards. It often feels like you need a week of training just to use the dashboard effectively. I personally believe that hyperscalers intentionally make it complicated so that users don't easily figure out how to save money.

I hate managing with spreadsheets. Whenever possible, I prefer to migrate data to a database or a more structured system.
