Over the weekend a coworker was helping someone in our lab prepare data for an important conference talk.
We accidentally ran up a rather large bill because while the EFS storage pricing was simple enough, the usage pricing bit us.
It seems like AWS' entire business model is making the pricing so confusing that you don't know what it will cost until after you've used it. It feels weirdly similar to the US healthcare/insurance situation.
More competition in this space can only be a good thing.
