Only when there's no argument in the first place and the decision is already made.
I don't think I've ever seen AWS (or any public cloud) require more labor in terms of hours/persons, but I routinely see it require labor that's more expensive, since we're back to a market where programmers are paid more than sysadmins.

The labor of running your own stuff isn't that bad. And the labor of running AWS is at least the same, if not more.
I really don't see how AWS wins in that argument.
