managed-services-reduce-claude-code-capability

AWS managed services (ECS Fargate, RDS, ElastiCache) trade Claude Code’s operational control for vendor-managed convenience — which is the wrong trade for this setup. Fargate removes SSH access and direct container exec; RDS removes low-level DB tuning and direct file access. When Claude Code IS the ops team, EC2+Docker gives maximum control and mirrors the proven Hostinger model where Claude Code manages 114 containers autonomously.
