Burstable jobs? This is where Spot Requests shine. Current spot price for c3.xlarge is $0.032/hr
24 * $0.032 = $0.78 per hour
I run all my CI infrastructure from spots for dirty cheap. Sure, it could all be yanked out from under me, but it's been running non-stop for over a year now. Plus, it keeps you from making "special snowflake" instances that you shouldn't. A minute and Puppet/Chef have got you a splendid new instance. ;)
