You think that's complicated? Boy, back in my day, we didn't have no fancy "management console" or "tabs". Why, you had to play with your AWS services by hand!

  There is actually a company that does this. But since Amazon doesn't do OAuth, they require you to give them your amazon login and password. They download your account usage logs from amazon and put a GUI over it. The password requirement was a showstopper for me so I didn't even try the co. The graphs sure looked pretty. :) Sorry, the name of the company escapes me ATM.

Which was still infinitely better than racking your own servers and then, later, driving to the colo at 4:30 am because of yet another contingency you failed to anticipate in your HA planning. One of the earlier contingencies was that the colo's "remote hands" service was actually staffed by bonobos.
