Me neither. I would expect AWS to provide this service for free. It is like paying a price to design our systems to ensure they are reliable even if a zone/region goes down managed by AWS. Well - they might call this shared responsibility :)

A truly cunning pricing scheme would be to strike a Coasian Bargain: "we inject faults for free! If you want us to stop, you'll need to pay extra". That would mean the cost would fall mostly on those who are unable to avoid paying it.

The cost would fall one those who are unable to design for fault-tolerance.

Or who are unable to, due to existing constraints.

The charitable name for this lucrative segment of the market is "Enterprise".

I didn't see it either. Hoping it's semi-reasonable because I'd like to be able to really use it.

They never talk about pricing until a service launches.
