We purchase savings plans but we do not purchase our cloud services through a systems integrator.

Answer

I don’t see this as risk rather see this as a risk mitigation strategy with the right SI. This model is evolving and there are multiple engagements where SI is taking e2e responsibility.1. Security has become a shared responsibility in well architected framework and SIncan take ownership on behalf of both AWS and client.2. SI gets root access and can provided best in class Cloud managed services.3. Si can apply CMP ( Cloud management platform) to optimize and managed cloud spend.The only challenge is selecting the right partner and implementing the governance.These topics are POV’s ( Point of view) in itself.
