Sounds like an issue with the company and not AWS.
Yes, the second (digressed) part but all in all costs were a huge leap after going into cloud
I suspect it does cost more but i doubt it’s a “huge leap” but it also defines what you define as huge leap.

So I'm working on adding this on top of Hetzner -- it's service #2 and the beta should be out by the end of the month (Redis is first!) -- if you'd be willing to beta test I'd love to have you try it. You can find the link in my profile or here[0] [0]: https://nimbusws.com
IMHO this has to be offered by the platform, not by some other party/intermediary. Of course I could run minio, swift, etc by myself, but this is not the point.
Would you have wanted a hypothetical discussion though (directed at grandparent), I would be up for that. Email in my profile

Hard disagree, this would be awesome. I'm leaving my current position but would have considered this as an unblocker for moving from Azure to Hetzner. Would you have wanted a hypothetical discussion though (directed at grandparent), I would be up for that. Email in my profile

The concern with cryptocurrency-related services is probably more around scamming and illegal business operations than mining as -- as you say -- mining should be relatively easy to detect. I'd say if you want to run gray area services like crypto, porn or gambling, you should probably ensure in advance that the provider is okay with you running your service, not just that they don't explicitly list your use case in…
A few years back, I used a hosting company that was pretty lenient with the stuff they allowed. It was used by a lot of gray area or slightly shady websites. I didn't really care about that, but they suffered frequent outages because some of the shady sites were constantly being attacked. So I switched to a different hosting company that was stricter and did not constantly suffer from outages.
The problem with building a platform that distinguishes itself by not having specific rules is that it attracts primarily people looking to do things that would break those rules and that this creates an environment that can drive away anyone else. This is as true for business services as for anything else.
