My company owns their infrastructure and we don't have issues like this and our production servers are working like oiled machines and yet they want to move to 3rd party cloud services for reasons that have yet to be explained

a brief conversation:

Cloud good, very good for dynamic sizing up and down.

but sir we don't need to scale up and down for our business.

but cloud good.

I'm worried that when the bean counters see the price difference between AWS and self hosted stuff they'll find AWS more expensive and we will have to deliver a year's work for 10 scaled agile teams again, but in our machines

I'm guess you have a fully staffed infrastructure team team, so the reason that has yet to be explained is that they want to downsize that team.

We use cloud services because we have never had a fully staffed infrastructure team.

The explanation is guys in marketing buying fancy lunches and rounds of golf for the guys in C-Suite (Source: A tired IT admin that has had to talk his management team off of this cliff due to fancy tech demo dinners from unsolicited cloud/software companies)

The fewer magic blackboxes are around, the

(happy variant) easier it is to train new people and the less mental burden there is on existing staff
(sad variant) easer it is to fire people.
