I would have thought build slaves would be a great fit for AWS, since you can boot them up as needed, and turn them off when not needed(Night).

We run some Virtualbox builds on them which AWS doesn't support. Our build slaves are pretty busy (I'd say jobs running 16+ hours a day). There isn't really that much possible cost saving towards an OVH server :)

Also: HDD performance on "basic" Amazon is slow and RAM is expensive :(
