To be fair, you don’t have to learn all of those things to deploy an app. If all you want to do is stand up a something that speaks HTTP, then Nginx combined with the webapp language of your choice is all you need, at least for side-project stuff.
That complexity comes as you deal with lots of people working together, and lots of different things deployed at different levels. At that point, not even IBM is going to be able to save you having to learn a large amount of things.
That read like an IBM ad and didn’t actually address why devs shouldn’t have to a complicated deploy process.
Because it is most likely an ad in disguise.
