Yes, the pricing seems off by 3 orders of magnitude! 2734 USD for a month of t2.micro -like capacity! Unbelievable!

Check your math. 1vCPU at $0.0506 per hour + 1 GB RAM at $0.0127 per hour gives $.0633 per hour. At 750 hours per month, that's $47.48 per month. A T2.micro is $8.70 per month, but not even close to a whole vCPU, so it's not a direct comparison.

Edit: I think they have a mistake on the pricing page: the per-second rate looks more like a per-minute rate. Doing the calculation with the per-second and again with the per-hour stated prices gives a 60x difference in monthly cost.

Edit2: Yep, they've now fixed the per-second price; it was originally 60x the correct price.
