Regarding the waiver—"The maximum discount is 15 percent of total monthly spending on AWS services". Was very excited at first. As for leaving data in AWS, data is often (not always) revisited repeatedly for years after the fact. If new questions are raised about the results it's often much easier to check the output than rerun the analysis. And cloud storage is not cheap. But yes it sometimes makes sense to egress only summary statistics and discard the raw data.
