> I find the provided arguments a bit baffling - you would be better off without AWS because you might forget to turn off $80k of instances? Except that AWS (nor other cloud providers) specifically and intentionally doesn't give me a way to limit charges. This ... is .. a ... big ... deal. I'm happy with my site going down if I hit $1000 in charges in a month or $100 in a day. Maybe some cryptobros broke into my instance because I screwed up. Maybe HN just threw a zillion people at my project. Maybe I just flat-out screwed up and opened an uber-expensive EC2 instance. It shouldn't matter. I don't want more than $1000 in charges in a month without me specifically and personally authorizing it. The fact that I cannot do this means that AWS (and others) have specifically deemed this to be a significant source of profits. Who am I to argue with them?
