Datacenter skills have NEVER been in more demand, datacenter is BOOMING and even the people who work in the AWS datacenter aren’t doomed to work there for eternity their skills forever captured by big tech. I honestly don’t know what you’re talking about, the skills are out there, they just don’t come cheap. Many businesses at a scale to run their own datacenters are also at a scale to have a relationship with local schools and managers will literally build pipeline of employees and maintain this pipeline for decades. The only staffing issue is these datacenter workers are just making so much money and getting so much work can you afford to hire them during this boom? Being able to avoid most of the costs and training and staffing you’re talking about has been a thing for a LONG time before the rise of cloud. There’s long been plenty of companies that will run the datacenter infrastructure for you or ever servers and let you hash out the details. People still made their own datacenters and continue to do so to this day. That is not why cloud has been so successful, the biggest thing cloud did to be successful was pioneer a new pay per use business model and the tools to enable it. Later on they created a bunch of new business innovations like EverythingAAS. If those innovations don’t come into play, AWS isn’t more attractive than Hetzner. I’ve built and decommissioned smaller datacenters for different businesses a bit under 1MW. I’ve seen datacenters make no sense, I’ve seen datacenters make complete sense.
