Mike Austin (speaker) explains operational complexity in cloud environments: multiple tooling and teams are needed to provision and monitor resources. He lists common tools (Terraform for deployment, Datadog for monitoring, PagerDuty for alerting) and notes that changing storage size requires multiple manual touch points — involving at least Terraform, Datadog, PagerDuty, and coordination with DevOps to resize disks.

Foreign and if you look at what happens in, in the operations world you've basically got, you know, DevOps out there and you've got three or four tools in the environment that you need to use in order to provision things. You got Terraform for deployment, you get datadog monitoring things. You know, you get your pager, you know your pagering with, you're learning with pager duty, right? So regardless of cloud you're going to have these applications that are, you know, managing and monitoring your cloud and then you have to have DevOps and you got to go through the process of looking at performance, cost, availability, etc. In order to determine whether we can make these changes. So if I wanted to change storage size it's basically four manual touch points. I got to go out and touch three tools. I got to touch Terraform or whatever. I'm using Datadog, PagerDuty and then I need to work with DevOps to manage that disk SA.
