I wonder what kind of 'bad activity' detection Amazon does, if any? Did they have to call Amazon ahead of time, just to warn them they were about to boot up "3,809" instances? If I tried to do that, would Amazon prevent it?
The reason I ask... how hard would it be to boot up, say 10,000 micro-instances (using a stolen credit card or AWS account) to be used for a DDOS? What do you have to do before red lights start appearing in the AWS NOC?
