The Cavern Of Cloud Computing Lies

The cloud computing evolution depicted as a cave of lies! At the surface, we've got that ancient PC gathering dust under some desk—you know, the one IT forgot about but somehow still runs your company's critical payroll system. Dig deeper and you find EC2 instances, the "I'm totally in control of my infrastructure" phase. Go deeper still and there's Kubernetes, where DevOps engineers spend 80% of their time configuring YAML files and 20% explaining why everything is broken. And at the very bottom? "Serverless"—the promised land where servers supposedly don't exist, but you're actually just renting someone else's servers while sacrificing all debugging capabilities. The deeper you go, the more you pay for "simplicity" that requires a PhD to understand!
