Amazon Web Services – Is It Usual to Be Signed Up for All Services?

amazonregistrationwebservice

I wanted try Amazon SNS, so I clicked the Sign Up button on its tab on the management console. Amazon approved my signup and in my account under "Services You're Signed Up For" I see almost all Amazon's web services.

Is this normal?

Do they sign you up for everything in the hope you will use them?

They won't charge me for services I don't touch at all, right?

That's strange, I recently added S3 to my account but didn't get all the other stuff lumped in.

AWS stuff is pay-as-you-go, so just having them activated in your account doesn't mean you're going to pay for them.

You can also remove 'activated' services from your account on that same page, if you just don't want them activated.
