No, what I need is NixOS, a configuration with a language that's a bit hard to digest but effective, which I can build and read, allowing me to replicate my infrastructure, create custom ISOs etc, in an almost totally automatic and manageable way on domestic hardware at a domestic scale.
What's needed isn't a rambling YAML and immense resource consumption; it's IaC, built-in to the system, that can do what's necessary not for an IT giant that lives off others' services run in-house, but for me, a private citizen with just a few of my own services, little time to manage them, a need to quickly replicate the infrastructure because I don't have infinite data centers, so if the homeserver dies, I need to buy another cheap desktop and set it up, restoring it on the fly. So if I'm offline for a few hours, nothing happens, but hardware costs money, so I need to use it well, and so on.

The giants' solutions are not one-size-fits-all.
