AWS Lightsail might be a better fit for you.

  Thanks for that tip, they don't seem to advertise that a lot! Launched 11/16 and somewhat reasonably priced since 08/18. Still more expensive than some others I also use, but at these prices it might be an easier decision if you want to avoid risks with the more aggressively priced competitors. Edit: Even with a terraform provider, nice!

    They actually give you an incredible discount on bandwidth, if that's important...it's a a known AWS "hack" :-)

      Data transfer hasn't been an issue for me in those low end work-type scenarios. However, as a person having connections to several countries I use to spin up an instance in a suitable country to work around geo-blocking of TV stations occasionally. That way you very quickly accumulate a couple of GB. Looks like for this use case this lightsail should be much cheaper, even if my bill is not a problem in absolute terms.
