Prefect Community

Hello,

Apologies in advance if my question makes little sense.
I am currently benchmarking MWAA  (AWS managed version of airflow) vs prefect.
However when considering my options to deploy prefect in production, I have a hard time understanding what prefect cloud could give me more than prefect core.
Since it seems I have to provision machines to run agents even with prefect cloud what would I gain by using it versus deploying prefect core to an ECS cluster for example ? (If we remove workspaces/organizations/connection topics)

Hi <@U04H6UMCFRR> - check out this answer I gave to a similar question:

tl;dr: with Cloud you get the concept of users/auth/service accts, additional features like notifications/automations/audit log, and a managed orchestration server.
