  Also, Hardware isn't as hard as people make out, you install it once and it runs; if it fails there's a special out-of-band manager built in so you can remotely debug it, datacenters have remote-hands personel. If you're constantly installing stuff then you're scaling up a lot, and that's the level where it would make sense to have someone hired dedicated for it. You can also rent hardware. the thing is: cloud ops are also quite complex but it's a different kind of complexity. I don't know how many people are required. The largest teams I've been on have been cloud deployments, and some of the smallest teams were bare-metal; but that's just an anecdote.

If you're "cloud native" you've already architected your stack to be horizontally-scalable and distributed (partly because the cloud is so expensive that running at peak load capability all the time would bankrupt you) so hardware failure should matter even less.
