How do you hard-cap S3 and other persistent data storage? "Sorry, you had a hard cap on AWS spend so we deleted all your S3 data on August 27th". Yeah not going to fly. | ||

See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/accounts/latest/reference/create... - they pause your access but don't delete your data for a 90 day grace period. | ||

There is a huge difference between "stop accruing new spend" and "nuke everything". The horror stories I have seen are of the type: some big artifact was getting pulled in a loop, causing TBs of network traffic or access keys were leaked and malware spun up 1000 xxxlarge instances. The ability to stop the bleeding is the bare minimum people want. Not, "Well, you made a boo-boo so now you lost everything." | ||
