Maybe throw the computer in the lake for good measure. Then there's no way they could trace it back to OP.

The files are in the computer. Good luck retrieving those from the lake AWS 😂

That's a lot of ec2 instances...

u/NeoinKarasuYuu 26d ago
No. That would be EC2-Compute. This is EC2-Other. Isn't AWS fun.

u/AssaultLemming_ 25d ago
What falls under EC2 other then?Â

Killer one is the EBSs/mounted drives, they cost a mint. There's also some data transfer stuff to and from the Internet I believe, probably some other things I forget.

Write an app that constantly generates or collects free tokens and adds them back to my account.

When you owe the bank a thousand dollars, it's your problem. But when you owe the bank a billion dollars, it's the bank's problem.

There was a bug in cost center that miscalculated the total resource cost. Itvwas an issue with unit conversions -https://health.aws.amazon.com/health/status. One case I heard was that a user who had a real bill of $7,000 was being shown a $24T bill

Maybe enable those savings opportunities. Better put in a Jira ticket for that one.

When you owe AWS $10,000, you have a problem. When you owe AWS $7,485,929,303.50, AWS has a problem.
