I kind of miss the times when working with the cloud was easier or more straightforward.

Now, as has been stated before, reading any cloud vendor documentation is like reading the Oracle manuals of years ago, not a happy experience.

Granted, these clouds now do things much more powerful and target more difficult enterprise scenarios. One can miss Heroku, and AWS has Elastic Beanstalk for that, but EB gets much more difficult fast.
