It is, but so is the problem space, as evidenced by AWS's own clusterfuck of services. It kinda comes with the problem space they're trying to solve: how do you efficiently run a bunch of services on a bunch of computers? Virtualization solves one problem but you still have networking and service discovery to sort out. Oh it absolutely is complicated. The way amazon does it seems to click better with my mental model for how all of this is supposed to work though. I'm really not sure if it's right or wrong or it just depends on how you model these problems.
