Depends on the skill of the employees. If you have mostly juniors and people who don't care then AWS is a godsend. If you mostly hire capable seniors to lead and ambitious juniors to follow then you can run things the old way just fine.

My first job had only incompetent seniors that I had to explain SQL query performance to etc. I left very quickly since I realized I wouldn't learn much there. I can see such places benefiting greatly from AWS services.

Or you can run them even better on AWS assuming you had the same level of competence except in cloud deployments. Granted they'd probably pick a more specialized cloud platform than AWS for the specific problems and scale of the team.
