One of the things that frustrates me the most about AWS is that there are getting to be too many options. Don't get me wrong, love being able to reserve instances, i love being able to size them, but having to also gague if my system is heavy v's light utilization on top of all this gets a little annoying.
Maybe i'm being unreasonable? I would say I am (honestly) if it were not for the fact that if you purchase a 3 year medium utilization instance, and suddenly you want to switch to a heavy...DING there goes your 3 year cost again.
We love AWS, but things like upfront fees that we have to pay, which then have to be re-paid if our business changes really bother me.
