Lord give me a monitoring tool with a column for "run cost"

yeah that's what Arun used the account billing correlated with the performance monitoring for AWS EC2... I'm messing around setting alerts on my teeny tiny AVD test deployment - and it's only when I hooked it up that I got a much better view of all those fiddly PAYG bits accumulated... I'm actually finding the billing moniroing more interesting than CPU/queue handles...
