Maybe official AWS guides should include a tutorial to set billing alerts and limits as a prerequisite to many of their guides.

Maybe AWS could develop the feature that everybody asks for - the OOM killer (where OOM stand for 'out of money')

Yeah, but then they can't win "customer service" points by not making you pay outright extortionate rates, thus further inducing lock-in.

It's very clever - either people pay the overages, or contact you and you can look good by giving them company scrip to spend on other of your services.
