Eh. They're the new shiny. And they do make certain things a bit nicer for some job roles, at the cost of shoving the complexity somewhere else.
In particular, it has been useful to move our engineers to developing using it. We'll probably experiment with using it in production for a few things at some point, just for consistency, but it buys us zero value there otherwise. (We will never run "in the cloud" because it would be cost-prohibitive, at least with current cloud revenue models.)
There will be another new shiny in a few years, at which point the True Believers will move on and tell you how you'll lose your job if you don't get on board that train, too.
