Tools today, frameworks today are massive bloat fests and you can't count on long term stability from them.
Ever wonder why the meme "And then one day, for no reason at all people voted Hitler." Is a thing?
It is interesting you make this comment, if you read up on history from that time period, the reason Hitler was able to come to power was because of how the rest of Europe had put Germany into a disastrous strangle hold after the end of WWI.
The Germany economy was a total mess, the people weren't allowed to have an army to protect them, Europe wouldn't allow fair trade deals.
So here comes Hitler who tells the people he will help them throw off the yoke of European oppression. So was it any wonder that he was elected?
We see Hitler through the eyes of hindsight but at that time in Germany, he wasn't presented as who he became.
I've had similar setups, developers were responsible for their own development environments. If they screwed them up they were supposed to fix them. If they couldn't, then they'd put in a request of the support admins and would get attended to when there was time.
If a dev team impacted their timelines because they screwed up their environment that was on them.
Sometimes that model works, sometimes it doesn't
Funny thing is that the two largest cloud providers are often times competitors to the businesses wanting to run on cloud. Oracle isn't.
What I mean is Google is a competitor to any data processing firm because Google is a data company. So any company with a primary business of selling data should avoid Google.
Amazon is a retailer and competitor to all retailers. Between retailers and data companies that is a huge portion of the potential cloud customers.
Only Microsoft's Azure and Oracle Cloud would not be competitors to either of these spaces, as they are both tech companies and don't compete in retail or data selling.
Oracle's offerings are sub-par but Azure is actually quite decent. Microsoft has spent a good deal of effort building out management tooling, making sure users can choose to use Linux or Windows (SQL Server was ported to Linux for use in Azure) and they have a pretty impressive world-wide physical data center foot print.
Where I work we are deciding between the big two Amazon and GCP, but I spent a day with Microsoft and I recommended we consider them.
You will be successful in your work.
