Re: [PLUG] AWS info

[Fred Stluka <fred@bristle.com>]

Doug,

You may want to read the " Manage Your AWS Billing" tip at
my Cloud Computing tips page:
    http://bristle.com/Tips/CloudComputing.htm#aws_manage_billing

Yes, there's a price list, and a calculator.  Also, once you start using
AWS, you can check your current bill (to within 5 hours or so) at any
time, and can even set up billing alerts to notify you if the current
bill exceeds a threshold.

My typical charges for a "small" instance (after prepaying about
$10/month for a 3 year "reserved instance") are about $25/month.
More info at:
    http://bristle.com/Tips/CloudComputing.htm#aws_intro
    http://bristle.com/Tips/CloudComputing.htm#aws_reserve_instance

You may only need a "micro" instance, which is less than $15/month,
and the first year is free.  More info at:
    http://bristle.com/Tips/CloudComputing.htm#aws_spot_and_micro_instances

All of these tips were mailed to my Cloud Computing mailing list
before they were archived at my Web site.  Let me know if you want
to be added to it or any of my other mailing lists:
