Can I Use AWS?

Genie: I’ll give you one billion dollars if you can spend 100M in a month. There are 3 rules: No gifting, no gambling, no throwing it away. SRE: Can I use AWS? Genie: There are 4 rules.

A genie offers an enormous reward for spending 100 million dollars in one month, with rules against gifting, gambling, or wasting it. An SRE asks whether AWS cloud spending counts, prompting the genie to add a fourth rule because cloud infrastructure costs are an obvious loophole. The meme is used to joke about engineers finding technical workarounds and spending huge budgets on cloud services.
