I'm just not sure that those layers are actually functional. I see little reason why things couldn't be more like AWS if there were standardized ways to e.g. configure things. A lot that one deals with is glue between the turtles and not necessarily the other turtle.

Everything is glue between turtles. It's glue between turtles all the way down. (A problem now is that the glue is nonstandardised, and you've got vendor-specific glue, much of it with craptacular Web interfaces, at various levels. We used to have this in other parts of the stack, but they eventually got commoditised, and those particular layers went away. If you haven't done it before, crack open a Sendmail.cf file. If you have done it before, I'm truly sorry for the flashbacks.)
