There is absolutely nothing charged or gained by Canonical for the
Ubuntu on EC2 beta. As stated on [1], "Amazon will charge you for your
usage of their AWS services completely independently of Ubuntu.", which
means that you should look at [2] to know the costs they will charge.

If you have any suggestions on how to improve the FAQ [3] so that the
statement is clearer, you would be very welcome.

Note that Dustin Kirkland has recently added a functionality to
screen-profiles [4] that will display an estimate of the cost for the
current machine it is working on.

Hope this helps,
Nick
