But why not templetize the power into an open source system like Cloud Foundry, do it once and then forget about it? Why not design it once, use forever? You still get the power, you just have the time to think about other things, like actually getting shit done.

If you use Cloudfoundry.COM you are locked in, it's still in beta and we don't know about pricing model. If you use opensource version (Cloudfoundry.ORG) you still need "server guys".
