I deleted the thread before remembering another thing I wanted to mention,
so I can't quote people who were saying otherwise, but: Are "micro"
instances all that much less reliable than other similar things?
https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/ (lightly edited for compactness) shows
vCPU ECU Mem (GiB) Linux/UNIX Usage
t2.micro 1 Var 1 $0.013 per Hour
t2.small 1 Var 2 $0.026 per Hour
t2.medium 2 Var 4 $0.052 per Hour
So one way to look at that is that all of the different *T2* instances [1]
are basically free times .013 per GiB of memory, which leads me to
speculate that other than memory, they may be pretty equivalent in terms
of their network performance and reliability. (The page that talks about
T2 instances (https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/#burst) talks only
about CPU, and not about network performance, which lends some credence to
the idea that the network unreliabilty that Ned is complaining about is
*not* in fact normal T2 low-end-ish-ness, but an actual problem, perhaps
(as someone suggested) with the underlying hardware that that particular
instance is running on.)

[1] Not "all of the different micro instances", although t2.micro is the
only current-generation micro instance, so "all of the different micro
instances" isn't really a thing.
