I am afraid that when I apply for AWS, give my credit card details and forget to stop using services, or AWS notifies by posting on the AWS Site, then I should pay for something new, or something overseen? What happens if I do not follow posts on the AWS Site? I am interested in AWS, but do not want to make contract that I will later be sorry for. Why isn't 'free' simply free? If I pay 'as I go', why don't give credit card details and make payments 'as I go'?
