Cloud services mainly replace networking specialist with IAM specialist, SRE specialist with VM specialist, systemd specialist with Kubernetes specialist, and so on. So in the end you are at +/- 0 resources anyway. However, what you get out of these same resource count is potentially a lot more, because the cloud gives you a longer leverage arm and a lot of the underlying tech in the cloud is more best practice than what you would have cobbled together yourself. For example IAM is a higher abstraction level, that a manager can actually understand, whereas ssh keys is black magic tech talk.
