... a lot? Has there been some shortage of network/infrastructure people lately?

Well, considering how many small/startup shops expect the developers to also do IT chores, "the cloud" makes the most sense... spending time learning the insides of systems they don't care to truly maintain comes at a cost... time to do other things, or cost to pay someone else to do it.

In the end, the cloud makes sense in a lot of scenarios.
