I’d like to understand how self managing all the lower level components abstracted by the cloud is saving on headcount. Care to math that out for us?

I get you that it’s easy to over-provision in the cloud, but you can’t return an on-prem server. A cloud VM, just shut it down and you’re done.

AWS talks about minimizing undifferentiated heavy lifting as a reason to adopt managed services and I find that largely to be true. The majority of companies aren’t differentiating their services via some low-level technology advantage that allows them to cost less. It’s a different purchasing model, a smoother workflow, or a unique insight into data. The value an organization provides to customers should be the primary focus of the business, the rest is a means to sharpen that focus.
