The real line we need to explore here is why was the user banned, since it sorta hits on both points:
1) Banned for having multiple (presumably aws-free) accounts?
or
2) Running mining nodes which will definitely be 100% CPU usage
The former I can agree with completely but the latter, if that's the case, is really questionable territory for Amazon to try and manage. I have a feeling it's most likely #1 though.
- nwh 13y ago> Running mining nodes which will definitely be 100% CPU usage They would be mining Litecoin, which is GPU and CPU based. You can't mine this in a free instance, which rules out them abusing the free tier. Likely a lot of heat and power for Amazon, but what else would they sell GPU instances for except for heavy computation?
