Who maintains your AWS instances? You still need someone to create AMIs, script updates, destroy stuck machines, etc. The physical cost of maintenance is pretty minimal unless you have a massive deployment or you have really poor hardware. Especially since if you have a few racks at any decent datacenter they will provide basic remote hands support to do things like replace failed drives.
