AWS does seem to like to hide their costs... looks to be around $9 / month per instance. That's still cheaper than DigitalOcean's equivalent service at $10 / month
@yetitaxxi If it's just for friends and family, masto.host will provide managed hosting of Mastodon for 5 EUR / month, so even cheaper. Of course, it means less ability to play around with the system. ;)
