I have a question regarding EC2.
Let’s say I have a pure EC2 instance with no EBS volumes attached. For small instance type I still have 160 GB of data (which is lost on error, etc).
The question is if I pay for IO operations to these 160GB drive?
thank you
No, you won’t have to pay exclusively for I/O operation on EC2 machine.
You are just paid for the data-transfer to the world and EC2 (client/server) + EC2 instance on an hour (I hope you know all this), in-case if you don’t take a look at this: http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/.
Also, there is a nice tool provided by Amazon AWS to calculate your spending on AWS – take a look at it here: http://aws.amazon.com/calculator/.
