Unexpected interview output

During the interview of a candidate for a developer position in the team, I started to worry about how little experience he had on the operations side. After some questions, I realized that with all this new cloud development tools it is perfectly possible to focus on just coding in some scenarios.
In his case, he had been working on a simple web application built on Asp.net Core for which he didn't needed to setup continuous build/deployment manually, neither needed to spent much time on monitoring, instrumentation or provisioning as in Azure it is possible to deal with this concerns from the dashboard.
Other than that he proved he could solve problems and produce clean code, so hopefully he accepts the offer and joins the team.
