I don't think you want AWS - I think you just want a VPS or a dedicated server. AWS is for people who are going to need to scale at large - and you pay a premium for that. I've priced it out - as an individual you get more value from a VPS provider such as DigitalOcean than you do from AWS.

Fair point - and perhaps the core of the issue. Since the start of this discussion a friendly hn soul has pointed out that Azure does actually allow hard-capping expenses though - a definite win for MS in my eyes.
