The hole business model is build on the nontransparency of the costs and simplicity of configuring additional services. AWS and other cloud platforms like Azure and GCP are only sexy for larger companies, that don't care about the actual costs, but about having a certified way of handling their infrastructure (which means they can switch out their IT staff quickly because there is no proprietary knowledge needed). For smaller businesses and individuals, renting one or two VPS for 10 $ each is still the way to go. If you need database failover, your VPS does not come with that and you don't want to set it up yourself, you can just use RDS as the only service on AWS, which will come at around 35 $ a month for the usual options. Still expensive for database redundancy, but could be worth it, depending on the scenario.

Does AWS charges money, even we are not using any service in our AWS account

They can just add a big shut off button but they make it so you have to turn off each switch, setting, to stop charging .

They know what they're doing . Charged over. 220+ usd when I turned off services when I was at 120 usd which was ALREADY too much . What did I do may you ask? I went to the browser for about 2 hours and despite turning it off I was still charged because it was randomly activated after each restart. Got charged 220 hours of active use hours at .50 each hour when server is suppose to shut off after 960 minutes of no use. 20 dollars a day not using the server.

I couldn't even download minecraft on high end graphic servers. Minecraft.

I find it ironic it's called 'simple' calculator.
