Thanks, I'll keep that in mind if I start to use EC2 for workloads.
However, from my experience, normal (eviction based) usage of SWAP doesn't impact the life of an SSD in a measurable manner. My 256GB system SSD (of my desktop system) shows 78% life remaining after 4 years of power on hours, which also served as /home for at least half of its life.

You don't care about life of any hardware in the cloud, that doesn't really matter either unless you work for the cloud provider in their datacenter teams.
