    Thanks for sharing this. It makes sense: the ability to spin up unlimited
    low/no cost computing power at the largest elastic computing provider in
    the world is bound to attract folks who have malicious intent. Centralizing
    computing power to a small number of big providers is a risky proposition.
    
    The question I have is: what can be done about it?
