Especially when they dont factor in any of the costs of the support contract, hardware replacements, etc. involved in supporting physical hardware. He also mentions that there is no way to see what your next bill will be in AWS. They offer an 'Account Activity' link, that shows you current charges in the current month. That can be helpful when testing things. I hope people that are new to setting up infrastructure and supporting it do no use comparisons like this to make the decision for them. There are far too many variables not discussed in this article for this to be very valuable to anyone.

I was not sure about this feature and after asking one of the sales engineers on the AWS event they told me that this is just not possible, especially if you want some details.
