alt Hacker News| self hosting costs you between 30 and 120 minutes per month
Can we honestly say that cloud services taking a half hour to two hours a month of someone's time on average is completely unheard of?

Very much depends on what you're doing in the cloud, how many services you are using, and how frequently those services and your app needs updates.
I handle our company's RDS instances, and probably spend closer to 2 hours a year than 2 hours a month over the last 8 years.
It's definitely expensive, but it's not time-consuming.
