  Very little sysadmin needed if you go with a managed dedicated server provider. They pretty much take care of most of that for you. A little more expensive than a non-managed dedicated server but oftentimes still much cheaper than the cloud. Plus, you can't really completely get away from sysadmin when working with the cloud either. You actually get a lot less support than you do with a managed dedicated server provider. Note: I heavily use AWS and managed dedicated servers.

  > That still leaves sysadmins that you no longer need when using the cloud Looking at our timesheets, managing cloud setups takes more time on average than managing bare metal server setups, and the amount of time spent handling hardware issues make up ~1%-2% of ops time spent on the bare metal setups for our systems. We "save" that on the cloud setups, but end up having spend more to account for dealing with crappy APIs to do all kinds of things we have much more direct control over instead.
