Well, it might also come with contacts in the billing department.

Apparantly you also get 13K a year in credits (mentioned in the article):

The company I know got $200K in credits as their sweet initial deal. They were fully intent to stay inside that limit or close to it.

Next thing I see them being slapped with $700K bill and managers running like headless chickens all over development floor and yelling to turn off every VM, hard drive, database / whatever either resources.
