To bolster you argument a bit.. I have a background in systems engineering building public/private cloud from hardware(cab and networking physical and logical provisioning) to VM provisioning automation and tooling. I've provided managed server, PHP hosting, Mail, and just about any other form of support you can imagine an ISP/Hosting provider needing to provide. These days I deal more with full stack development and SRE type work. I ACTIVELY AVOID running servers, using tools like Chef and Ansible, and running kubernetes clusters unless there is a strong value proposition for them that can't be ignored. This despite the fact that I have no gatekeepers and ton of experience with all of them.
