Make a 15min spreadsheet of $/month server cost and developer cost for differents usage scenario, include things that can speed up developpement. Instead of fighting. Don’t argue with him, provide numbers for the perspective he might not see. Tell him you want to help him make the best decision. He might loosen up on budget for cloud if he see that you are fumbling around to save a few Go of RAM.

> provide numbers Even a spreadsheet with such numbers is primarily speculation and your upper management knows this (they make such things all the time). As such, if they did not want to agree with you before this spreadsheet won't make a difference. If they want to agree but don't want to take the time to present exactly that spreadsheet to their compatriots, it is worth making it. If you don't work for a very large company (essentially a bureaucracy), this situation probably will not occur.
