What do you dislike?

The interface for tracking server usage could be smoother. Their analysis tools do show you that the specific size server you selected is providing server needs at minimal cost, but the more expensive option (which Amazon markets heavily), is not necessary for average developers such as myself

ight-size your services to meet capacity needs at the lowest cost. You can save more money by reserving in advance but for most of developers, that may not be possible.
