> You can by insure for you as a driver and for your car (and in many jurisdictions have to) — this limits your responsibility

Real insurance policies have maximum coverage limits, so, while it reduces your liability by a capped amount, it doesn’t, strictly speaking, limit it; you still face unbounded potential liability beyond your insurance coverage.

what's the biggest unexpected billing of AWS fees reported? I'm thinking 100,000 seems unlikely to be reached very often.

on edit: this is not to say that I believe an insurance for this kind of thing would really work (although maybe that is because I know nothing about the insurance business) just that I don't think the problem with the insurance would be that you could always end up getting billed more than you were insured for.
