Charge appropriately

If you don't like their service simply don't use it? Why should anybody be expected to cater to you instead of someone else?

I’m speaking generally about this move. I absolutely don’t use their shit service.

Look, I don’t know what’s so hard here. If you sell cloud compute it should be on the basis of usage. If that usage is 100% then charge aptly.

It's their business and they can do what they want. Why is it hard for you to understand that your opinion is not authoritative? You can hate their business just as much as they can hate your patronage.

I absolutely agree!

Just don’t market yourself as an open and non limited compute resource charged by usage.

Market yourself as a QOS’d, shaped sub service.

Show me a single cloud provider who charges per CPU-second or CPU-minute, per GB of RAM, and per GB of disk.
