This. There are other comments on this thread griping about the cost of bandwidth, and comparing it to competitors for EC2 (Linode and the like)...and that misses the point. If that's all you want, yeah, there are probably cheaper alternatives that might do. But for a one stop shop that offers the best selection of services from which to compose software solutions, mature and tested, with an aggressive roadmap for adding more...you're left with those three. And of them, AWS leads.
