What's more, in the days of IaaS you can just as easily spin up a new server in some web interface, copy-paste a setup script you wrote once and after getting a coffee you come back to a working database server that does 90% of what you need. How much automation we use is independent of how much of this automation we decide to outsource.

EDIT: But hey, maybe that's just me not understanding the 2020 mentality of "Take my data and make it work" well enough
