> I know very little on the datacenter operations side of things - I guess 3 people is not a lot, but what is normal?

Bear in mind that outside of the US and maybe one or two other locations ex-US, almost all of the magic cloud operates out of third-party datacentres, not their own.

They will have a small office on-site where 3–5 people sit, and those people are exclusively dedicated to the cloud equipment itself. The datacentre ops side is, by definition, handled by the third-party datacentre operator.

The guys onsite are clearly only there for "intelligent hands" purposes, as everything else will be done remotely from silicon valley or wherever.
