- cookiecaper 7y agoWhich isn't an accident, to be fair. AWS pricing is deceptive on purpose, with many cross-dependencies that each have their own price points, exclusions, and caveats. Only this many cents to use this thing, which, heh, I guess it requires this thing too, and this thing, and this thing ... man, some of these cents are adding up. Oh, a "NAT Gateway" is $30/mo? Well, OK. Keep going for a few weeks and you're staring down a bill for a rather scary number of cents while the CFO's angry rants can be heard half-way across the office. There are entire consultancies that specialize in decoding AWS bills. Let's not pull leg here.
