This is why I'm deathly afraid of using any major cloud provider. External traffic is effectively unlimited, and a number of possible reasons (popularity, misconfigured script pulling something in a loop, someone intentionally generating traffic to hurt me) have the possibility to throw me into arbitrary amounts of debt, with the only recourse being hope that the cloud provider will be merciful. Even if I have alerts set up: someone pulling 10 Gbit/s can generate over 100 TB per day, at $80-100 per TB. If I don't check my e-mails for weekend, I can be $30k in the hole before I notice.
