Description

The VR meeting server chimeraxmeeting.net is hosted by an Amazon Web Services (AWS) virtual machine on a 12-month free trial that started August 2020. So I expect it to switch over to a paid service in August 2021 but so far have not seen a bill.

Should investigate what the paid service charges will be.

Studied AWS t2.micro pricing which I think is what I am currently using. "On demand service" is $0.0116 per hour so about $8 per month, pretty cheap. All t2 instances have bandwidth "up to" 1 Gbit/sec which is the lowest AWS offers.

Got my first AWS bill after free tier service ended, $12 for one month. I can get reimbursed by the lab, or probably too lazy to do the paperwork so I can just pay it.
