This has been my experience working with companies that use cloud services as well.
Another big waste of time is on application optimization especially around database usage. Cloud services tend to provide very low IOPS storage (and then charge exorbitant amounts for semi-decent performance) which forces spending a lot of wasted time on optimization which would never be an issue on dedicated hardware.

I confused the heck out of the first manager I started sending itemized weekly reports of the cost of each functional area and feature requests (based on average salary per job description), as he'd never seen it before. But it very quickly changed a lot of behaviors when they realized the value of the resources spent on various features.
