Charged by the hour... pay for an instance.. Tsk tsk.. The thing I love about S3 and cloud services in general is when I pay per request and can scale through the roof. Whenever a services is meter by number of instances my interest fades, and I look for other solutions.. S3 has this very handsoff feeling to it :)

AWS should investigate a new concept called serverless.

  That would never catch on, its obvious there has to be a server somewhere, people ain't stupid.

  Bit annoying if your uploads get killed for going over 5 min though.

Well, its likely because the sftp server itself is always running. If they had an sftp lambda function... sure.

  Sure, it's because an sftp server is always running. But I immediately extrapolate that this also means it has bandwidth limits and limits on concurrency, etc.
