Hello. I use AWS to test the alpha release, on the free tier. If you dont mind me asking, I am interested to know what you are doing to avoid a bill Amazon bill at the end of the month.
I think I had about 30GB data transfer or so & a few other things and they sent me a bill for USD 0.70 ish (not at lot I know lol), but potentially it could be in the thousands of dollars or more if you are not careful. Is there a region that is "best" to use? AWS' internet is pretty fast, I transfered a file from 12GB file from Google Drive using Chrome in the VM in about 15 or so seconds. Also I noted that there are many entries in /var/log/auth.log that many people try to connect via SSH (username byebye is a popular one for some reason), more connection attempts than my home internet connection gets perhaps Many Thanks.
