If you’re deploying something like 100 m5.4xlarge in us-east-1, sure, AWS’s capacity seems infinite. Once you get into high memory instances, GPU instances, less popular regions etc, it drops off.

Now maybe after the AI demand and waves of purchases of systems appropriate for that things have improved, but it definitely wasn’t the case at the large scale employer I worked at in 2023 (my current employer is much smaller, so doesn’t have those needs, so I can’t comment)
