Keep it small and you’re unlikely to get beyond the free tiers, but be sure to remove payment methods and/or close the account after you’ve finished. I had a zombie forgotten account all of a sudden start hitting my debit card one month because of some DNS traffic I wasn’t aware of. It wasn’t much, but I have also had to negotiate charges in another instance. It’s not that the ability to understand and control the fees aren’t available—but for anyone who’s unused to AWS it can be complicated, and easy to forget some single aspect.

Good point, maybe I should use one of those services that let you use virtual cards you add money to and ftheure disposable? Never looked into these, but the horror stories I've seen on HN have seriously pit me off trying AWS even though I've regularly used other cloud providers.
