Setting a price cap for AWS Free Tier

amazon ec2amazon-web-servicescloud computing

I'd like to setup a website on the Amazon AWS free tier but I'd like to be sure I won't lose any money if I see a sudden spike in traffic. Is there any way to set a cap on traffic or stop the server after a certain level of cost is reached?

Thanks.

Simple answer: No way to do this via the AWS control panel.

The only "solution" I know is to check your account regularly or to implement a check directly on your EC2 instance (see How to cap bandwidth usage on AWS EC2? )
