#aws (2024-11)

you could try to roll your own little Heroku style service. Create an organization and and provision sub-accounts for folks to use the service. Bill them according to the resources they use (easily captured from the billing console using a per service report) and profit. You could even give 50-75% discount on AWS prices and still benefit if you are paying the main bill in AWS credits.

i think the hardest part will be getting folks to use your service and then getting them off the platform once (or raising rates) when all credits are exhausted.

This is not legally binding advice and is only shared for entertainment purposes.

Yeah, thanks but that’s even clearer than crypto on the terms “you shall not resell or rent the credits”

Maybe clone some AI SaaS and buy some ads

OK i didn’t know all the fine print

i guess you could spec our your resources and services to use the highest tier available? Use those big servers that burn $30-40/hr to run a static website.

Thoughts?

How can they make this announcement and not even acknowledge https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/containers/aws-controllers-for-kubernetes-ack/

https://github.com/aws-controllers-k8s

Or explain its relationship to it

From today’s “Last Week in AWS”

I have some workloads that are perfect candidates with this. Looking forward to seeing how this is surfaced in Terraform. Meaning, it might already be there but I just haven’t gotten to it yet.
