I wasn't trying to imply a person needs to have the entire set of domain knowledge before operating a server, but simply researching about what you are attempting to do before just copy-pasting bash lines into your terminal and not even recognizing how it even works at all. AWS lets you not have to know a great deal about setting up servers and networks, which is great, because they are very skilled at it when they set it up for you. Then, all you need to research is what you need to do/use to deploy your apps.

Well, being an engineer at a company that provides private cloud services and a long-time programmer, I'd wait to ensure that application stays secure before singing the praises of easy. While I agree that making things more accessible is great, "really understanding the network" and "security" are more important than ever. The types of things happening now are similar to 15 years ago when "developers" were making Access databases that are still around today and are all sorts of a mess. I've seen companies dump tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars just to keep them going. Now, something similar is happening but it's with web-based applications. Much more exposed. If you don't know your stuff you, your company, or most importantly, your customers will eventually get burned.
