Except, if you are running customer supplied code on the instance then you've made the sandboxing problem that much more difficult. I'd much sooner have a clean VM to run my tests on than have to think about the ways the previous user might have left things in an insecure state.

Exactly, now we guarantee a pristine VM for every single test, something which was not possible with our setup on EC2.

  Something completely possible with mounting a new EBS volume with a pristine image or simply instructing to replace the instances current volume...

    As far as I know you have to stop the instance to mount a fresh EBS volume, which means as soon as you start up the instance with the new volume you're paying for another full hour again.

    You pay for another hour every time you do that, that was the point.

This can solved by containerization.
