Hi,
I'm new to AWS and Turnkey, and I was hoping to get a little clarification on the pricing. I'm trying to switch to the Budget plan for $20/month + 0% usage fees. However, it looks like the cost of a small instance on this plan will be 8.5 cents/hour (Virginia region). Amazon advertises the cost of this to be 6 cents/hour, so I'm trying to figure out where the extra 2.5 cents/hour comes from, or what it is for, since there are no usage fees. Can someone please clarify?

update?
Hello again--I see where you have now updated the pricing on the hub's Launch page. It is now showing the correct price. However, when I attempt to enable the Budget plan, it takes me to the Amazon site which still shows the price at 8.5 cents/hour. Does this need to be corrected as well?
Budget plan only applies to EBS backed instances
So to get the +0% pricing you need to move to EBS backed instances (I suggest using TKLBAM to migrate your data across). Perhaps that is the problem? (Although I can't be sure...)
Pricing updated
Yesterday we completed a round of updates on the Hub and on the Amazon pipeline. Liraz sent out an email (which you should have received), but I'm including it below for reference.
If something still isn't clear, please let me know.
I'm no math wiz, but...
Isn't this a 25% reduction in prices, as opposed to 33%
