  • Never used AWS but would it help to bake a daemon into your default OS image that shuts it down after 24 hours? That way you need to manually disable it for the ones you want to keep.

    • Usually what happens is people create lambda functions on AWS which are basically managed functions that get invoked when a request comes in (think a modern version of CGI), and then if there are a lot of requests then the user can easily end up with a huge bill.

      • Damn.

        I suppose the obvious question of why Amazon doesn't have an intuitive way of rate limiting those can be answered by the huge bills people rack up.
