I want to raise awareness for "legacy" hidden costs by AWS.
One of the reasons to migrate to a new (and supported) generation, for each service, is the financial aspect of such a move.
Most people know that moving to new hardware (*usually*) means paying less.
But, did you know that remaining on legacy hardware will mean in the long run paying more?
Whether it is an extra payment for EBS Optimized legacy instances
Or paying hourly for extended RDS support for end-of-life versions
AWS also announced Amazon EKS extended support for Kubernetes version pricing

Be aware of the hidden costs of running unsupported hardware in your environment.
Which "hidden" costs are you aware of?
