You can negotiate with AWS.

I don't believe that startups in their garage days have anywhere near the necessary leverage to negotiate anything with Amazon...

Agree, not many people actually realize just how slow and expensive AWS actually is. Kudos to SO for going with their own hardware.

they negotiate, still. I know several startups which went to amazon, said, "hey, your competitor is cheaper, what is your value prop" and suddenly had 50% discounts, etc. It's amazing how much you get simply asking!
