Except you don't get a bill, you get a receipt that gets buried in tons of junk mail.
And as I reply to this, I decided to check my AWS console, because there is an instance for the life of me I can't terminate.
- toomuchtodo 11y agoHave you tried changing regions in the console?
- thoman23 11y agoAgreed on this advice. When I was new to AWS I kept receiving a bill for a few cents that obviously wasn't worth my time to resolve, but still really irritated my why I couldn't find a running instance. Turns out the running instance was in a different region and I didn't know the EC2 server list displayed only one region at a time.
- res0nat0r 11y agoIf you have the aws cli tool installed this will list all of your instances and their public IP addresses in all regions for you: for region in `aws ec2 describe-regions | awk '{print $NF}'`; do echo $region; aws ec2 describe-instances --region $region --query 'Reservations[].Instances[].[[Tags[?Key==`Name`]| [0].Value], PublicIpAddress]'; echo ; done
- click170 11y agoThis is the exact reason why I refuse to give amazon a non-prepaid visa card. Where I live, every grocery store sells them without requiring ID.
- cryowaffle 11y agoAre you trying to protect your identity or just make sure the bill doesn't go over a set amount? If the latter then it shouldn't matter if ID is required.
- egwor 11y agoI guess not needing an id just makes it easier. It's always a pain having to provide two forms of proof of address
