It's the right attitude. The management fees alone for this autopilot thing are 0.10$ per hour. Or about 70$/month. It's a bargain considering all the hidden costs kubernetes imposes in terms of requiring people that know how to tame the complexity associated with it (i.e. very expensive devops people costing magnitudes more than that). Automating those people away is worth money.

I like Cloud Run for the same reason because I can use it without needing a lot of devops skills in my team or without sacrificing my own time (because I have those skills but have more valuable things to do). It allows me to focus on keeping my CI/CD pipeline (cloud run sets that up with a button click) busy with new functionality. And our hosting cost are close to 0$ because we stay below the freemium layer until we actually need to scale.

Edit. corrected the typo 700->70
