To directly address the author's question: My customers aren't speaking HTTP with me. Surprise! There are other protocols out there too. I don't have what you'd call 'frontend' development. No JS, only small amounts of HTML for informational pages, and most effort goes into keeping big backends alive.

Obviously if the cloud is a simple abstraction, and your API doesn't change whether cloud or bare metal, there's not much training for "A Cloud Guru" to sell. It apparently isn't enough to optimize the model we already, we need a new paradigm or some such and a vendor to train us on it.
