Yes. I’ve found that the amount you have to learn to use a managed service often equals or exceeds the amount you have to learn to run something on EC2 or on-prem. The automation/management costs of AWS or equivalent are a lot higher than people think and not significantly different from the costs to learn Linux and enough networking to do an “old-fashioned” deploy.

Much of that rings true, but I find some of the cloud abstractions can help to make the steady-state ops time required lower (especially for a side project where you really don’t want to deal with life interruptions).

The cloud was supposed to help you get rid of all these pesky sysadmins. Imagine the savings!
Now the cloud is so complicated that you have to hire "devops". It's the same people as before, with a higher salary.
