Hidden Costs That Eat Your AWS Credits Faster Than You Expect
You finally land a big pile of AWS credits. Maybe $10,000 from AWS, or even close to $100,000 through a startup program. It feels like someone gave you an unlimited cloud card. For a few weeks, life is good. You launch new services, spin up bigger instances, create extra test environments, and nobody worries about the bill. Then one morning you open the AWS console and see this: credits almost gone, real charges starting next month.
