PS Scaler Pro is $1.5 / GB, which is quite a lot. General purpose storage in AWS is only $0.115.
GP storage is pretty slow (relatively). I hope PS isn't giving us that out of the box and does provision more IOPs etc.
AWS bills for absolutely everything as PS mentioned in the article. This can include temporary files and what not that can take up a large chunk of your storage.
because it doesn't specify the exact instance type used on the AWS side
That in a way is problematic because CPU generations matter and even if PS is using the "best" currently, how do we know if they'd keep up? Prices could swing the other way quite easily.
