Indeed, it seems like a huge hassle, especially having to think about turning on/off your cloud resources.

Internet is going to cost way more than $5/mo.

To keep things cheap, I just use my work laptop and an OVH $3.50 VPS for the other things.

Remembering to turn off or disable/delete cloud resources is a thing of the (very distant) past: you can automate away that problem with ease. AWS provide free services for doing this.

That's why preemptibles were suggested, they auto turn off within 24 hours
