Holy oversimplification, Batman.

If you hire people who don't know how the cloud works, then of course their time will be sucked up by learning how it works. If you hire people who know how the cloud works, it is a productivity multiplier. Use the tools that you know.

BUT. If you have to build a giant wooden sailing ship, and all you know how to use is a Swiss army knife... and you want to get that ship done this century..... you need to learn new tools.
