One question, which is puzzling me:

- there is a company which provides you with IT administration, which you trust it cpu management, memory management, network management,...

- in most cases (not all, but in most cases), you are developers not system administrators

- you dont have resources in term of hardware budget (in form of multi year plan), network budget, human resources budget, own knowlidge budget,... to set it up as a single man / company operation

Why do you believe, that some company that offers you all those "favors" would make it cheaper than if you wouldnt lack those topics? Even more as there is a huge mountain of knowlidge/time/money/... you dont have?

If I were them, I would spoil everybody to the point where developers wouldnt know what ip is, run operation on my own expenses and then raise up the prices a lot. And I dont think I am much smarter then "them".

To me it is dead simple. Same as all the cloud topics. It is a reasonable trade off, the companies are offering you a "favor" for money in same way that you do it customers.
