A concrete example of how AWS creates friction: "I want to try Postgres on RDS" Create an instance, use many of the defaults (including the default security group) and try to connect from a DB client. Connection times out. Spend 30 minutes reading the docs, StackOverflow, and more to finally find out that I need to adjust the default security group or create a new one with the appropriate inbound rules. Nowhere along the process of creating the instance does it say something like "heads up! you won't be able to connect to this instance with the current SG settings".
