How does one install and run Linux/BSD/another UNIX? One needs to learn and understand how a UNIX works.
The essence of the complaint that one has to have the knowledge of something before that something can be used. It seems like a reasonable expectation for just about anything in life.

My point was to disprove that "cloud" is simpler than conventional sysadmin - it is not, and it involves similar effort, complexity and manpower requirements.
Cloud is simpler than conventional sysadmin, once its foundational principles are understood and the declarative approach to the cloud architecture is adopted. If I want to run a solution, cloud gives me just that – a platform that simply runs my solution and abstracts the sysadmin ugliness away.
I have experienced both sides, including UNIX kernel and system programming, and I don't want to even think about sysadmin unless I want to tinker with a UNIX box on a weekend as a leisure activity.
