The funniest bit. "Claude tried to talk me out of this." I'd say that this is a PEBKAC situation more than an AI situation.

Claude was trying to talk me out of it, saying I should keep it separate, but I wanted to save a bit because I have this setup where everything is inside a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) with all resources in a private network, a bastion for hosting machines.

The savings are not that big, maybe $5-10 per month, but I thought, why do I need another VPC, and told it to do everything there. That increased complexity and risk because changes to this site were now mixed with those to other infrastructure.
