> how do I give more virtualized compute to people without hiring more expert server and networking admins

I put these into the bucket of productivity and low cost. And this issue arises when we need to scale our business, in particular our computation.

It's not really true though. Incremental expansion doesn't actually require more heads if the compute is uniform.

I should really have mentioned storage. Networking is a vendor-imposed shitshow, but storage, storage is next level. It's almost like the vendors in 1995-2020 actively built their products around spite and hate for their customers.

To me it is interesting that despite the massive economic advantage that vendors _should_ have, they've made their products so unusable that people will pay 3x-10x more just to not have to deal with them, which is what cloud amounts to for enterprise customers.
