It may be worth following up with your AWS TAM to get clarification on when billing actually starts. Most of the time spent initializing the system is outside of the customer's control; You can see from dmesg output that the kernel doesn't take particularly long to start. If the resources you've provisioned aren't yet available to you, I don't think you're being billed for them. (Although I work for AWS, I don't have a deep understanding of how billing and metering work.) noah
