Is that really cheaper than to just use a VPS for $5/month which offers compute and storage and everything?

The article says this about VPSs:

    You often end up paying for
    resources even when you're
    not using them.

But how is that different with S3? They also do not store the data for free.

And you can delete a VPS via API just like you can delete an S3 container.
