So, on Friday I got my December bill for AWS.... it was $2063.
I just about had a heart attack. I had evidently left up a huge dedicated
instance in a region I don't normally use. Luckily, after calling Amazon, they
were nice enough to waive the fee since it was my first time making that kind
of error, and they could see I hadn't actually used the server at all.
It turns out there's a really easy way to avoid this: set up a billing alert in
AWS to email you if your estimated monthly bill goes over a certain amount for
a long enough time.
Basically, just follow these instructions:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/DeveloperGuide/monitor_estimated_charges_with_cloudwatch.html
There are a lot of different alerts you can set up, it's pretty easy to follow.
I highly highly recommend that if you don't already have this set up, that you
do it /right now/. It's really quick and easy, and it could save your butt.

Seriously. Do it now.
