I've only worked at companies running in the cloud. Is there a console (open-source or otherwise) and other tooling similar to AWS' for managing your resources in your own data center?

The OpenStack console is pretty good, imho

If you have an 8GB vm you can see it in action via https://docs.openstack.org/devstack/zed/guides/single-vm.htm... (takes about 45 minutes) or if you want the "full" experience fire up an education cluster from https://openmetal.io/use-cases/on-demand-openstack-cloud/ (it takes about 4 hours or so but it's also a "real" setup unlike the vm which for sure allows running instances via qemu but isn't going to allow exercising the complete suite as easily)

Plenty of them, yes. I probably would decline to move to a job with a cloud-based setup. It's short-term thinking at it's finest.
