Maybe not, but it think it is the web service company's responsibility to alert and contact you on suspicious activity ... like a sudden $6,000 jump in service

Maybe not, but it think it is the web service company's responsibility to alert and contact you on suspicious activity ... like a sudden $6,000 jump in service usage of spot instances in regions you have never used before.
I mean a quick automated email would be enough for you to take action. The way it is set up now, you pay for it and humbly beg Amazon to deduct those charges if they see fit.
- Alupis 11y agoI agree, and it seems this sort of thing is already in place on AWS, but the author didn't heed the first two warnings. Short of just blocking things from happening and risking inconveniencing other customers, I don't see much more AWS could have done that would be reasonable.
- runamok 11y agoYou can easily set up billing alerts in cloudwatch to do this. I have done so. I agree by default it should prompt you to do so during the aws on boarding process.
