Hey, what are you trying to do on the cloud? Just for testing? Or do you want to run a larger computing application? I have recently bought a bit of cloud (100h with 16 large instances for $0,38 in Dublin). It was quite expensive = 608USD. Gladly, when running Hama there are regularly no other costs involved like external IO requests.
However, for just testing of a small scale application like SSSP with 1mio vertices, 8 micro instaces were enough. But they are for free, you have to do some reconfiguration on Hadoop - heap sizes are too large in default configuration. Hope it helps you a bit.
