>From [1]: Heavy Utilization Reserved Instance (medium size) on a 3 year contract would mean something like $600 up front and $0.066 per hour. If we run once a day, and it takes 12 hours to run (guessing here), that would mean 3*365*12*0.066 = ~ $870. So running the thing for 3 years would take something like $1500.
Are there any other costs that this page is neatly hiding (data transfer, access)? If we do a Wikipedia style drive for funds, we should be able to get that kind of money together, couldn't we?
