Many are definitely unnecessarily overcomplicating things.
Someone tooted at me the other day after I referred them to snac that they were upset it didn't have prebuilt Docker images.
I mentioned that Docker instructions where just there for testing.
They seemed to believe, entirely erroneously, that Docker was a prerequisite for "self-hosting".
sigh
I have been self-hosting services for decades before Docker ever existed.
VMs, hypervisors, containers and such are useful, in my experience: for development and testing, NOT for prod.
I think too many, too young, have been deluded into AWS/DevOps madness and I am not sure how to undo the damage because they clearly haven't been paying attention to individuals such as I warning about the perils of so-called "cloud" computing for decades. ;-/
Unnecessarily overcomplicating things with AWS, Azure, GCP, etc. is great for Jeff Bezos, and other technocrat robber barons and terrible for efficiency and really learning what is necessary to make things run well.
