I haven't looked really closely so maybe I can, but when I've looked in the past, I couldn't start an ubuntu machine on AWS that's a "pro" version, at say 1c/hour ($87/year) or whatever, on top of the x cents an hour I pay amazon for the machine. Instead I have to raise a separate business case about why I want to pay for support, manage a separate line item in my budget, etc, etc, that's all tedious, so I don't bother.

You are right, my comment wasn't completely accurate since I forgot to mention that the free ubuntu pro plan is only for personal use or for less than 5 devices. I don't think you can get it working on a cloud instance even if you are eligible for the free plan unless you manually install it on a VM or something.
