Everyone does something for the first time once. Just because someone has not set up a hypervisor before doesn't mean they're inexperienced.
> I can set up Proxmox VE as hyper visor, some container for each DBs, load balancer in front and some app in about an hour max from scratch,
And I can spin up containers + load balancer on AWS in less than five minutes. That doesn't mean that it's just an easy thing to do. (although, this specific example is).

Agreed 100% on both counts.
