I think a lot of people who have never really used anything other than a major cloud provider don't really understand what goes on behind the scenes. I was a sysadmin at a hosting provider and even though we were magnitudes smaller than AWS, we still saw a lot of the same issues, just on a smaller scale.

Yeah, for sure. I've got a couple team members that I brought along from cloud only, (one having never run any unmanaged k8s even) to building and maintaining on prem compute clusters. 'We had a lot of discussions along the lines of, 'Yeah, that's a great idea, but we can't just autoscale out of bad config or planning' or 'We can't just reboot a host and get a new one, we have to plan to take care of the ones we have' It's been pretty fun
