I have terminated all my instances in AWS, but didn't receive any information that my service of the
m1.small
was shut down.
I was wondering if I will still be charged by the AWS?
You will be charged for the time that those instances were up.
You won't be charged any more for those instances if you have terminated them.
If you want to be absolutely certain and will not need the AWS services anymore, you can always close your AWS account.
Pricing is per instance-hour consumed for each instance, from the time an instance is launched until it is terminated or stopped. Each partial instance-hour consumed will be billed as a full hour.

When it is terminated or stopped, there will be no charge.

How can I get exact status of AWS EC2 instance?
The instance status tells ok but actually I can't login the server (via SSH).
And Cloudwatch result is like this.
This is the period of when the server is gone.
The server didn't come back until I only stop/restart instance. (reboot didn't make server working)
How and where can I check the status of instance?
And what is the reason of this?
Thank you in advance.
you can use aws cli to see the current status of your EC2 instance using the command:
aws ec2 describe-instance-status --instance-id i-1234567890abcdef0
Because cloudwatch is showing break in graph which means instance was not sending CPU utilization to it for that period of time. Generally happens when there is some load on the applications running on EC2 instance, consumes whole available memory of the instance to halt all the instance processes.
Actual instance status sometimes takes time to reflect on UI when things goes wrong with it.

We are running EC2 instance with 1.5TB storage (EBS) attached. We are now about to reserve EC2 instance to get the lower price. Does the discount on reservation exist on EBS price as well?
I found information about discounts on EC2 reservation, but could not find if that discount refers to the whole EC2, together with attached EBS? Or is there no discount on reserved EBS?
EBS does not have reserved pricing like reserved ec2 instances.
NOTE: You are charged for storage allocated whether your instance is running or not.

Details: I have a web app on Elastic Beanstalk (web server) and I need several cronjobs to be executed. These cronjobs must connect to AWS RDS. For this, I created an Elastic Beanstalk Worker but I must pay for the worker instance to be available all day when cronjobs only need some minutes.
You can use AWS Lamda with scheduled events for this. To connect to RDS you need to place the Lambda function inside the VPC which RDS resides with required network accessibility.
This will work for short running jobs which does not exceed 5 minutes, which is the AWS Lambda maximum execution time limit.
For long running jobs you can start and stop a EC2 with AWS Lambda scheduled events, using AWS EC2 SDK.
Alternatively you can also use AWS batch scheduled with EC2 spot instances to lower the costs.

I'm hosting several websites on AWS and got the charge of On Demand Linux t2.micro Instance Hour for 690hrs. I've totally no idea about when I asked for this on demand instance. Is it like my free tier instance has used up so it automatically cost the on demand instance?
Also another question is how can I know which website/ec2 instance actually cost me the on demand instance hour. I strongly believe that none of my website has large traffic.
Complete information about your billing in details you may receive on a page https://console.aws.amazon.com/billing/home
Also, check the following - have you launched one more t2.micro instance? You have possibility to use free t2.micro instance for 750 hours per month, it means that you may have only one non-stop working instance per month.
Please, check, maybe you have set up autoscaling group that launched one more instance for you and forgot to disable it?

I created my own intance and made AMI from it. Then, I deleted the old instance and created the new one with the AMI.
Here's the problem. I have been tracking my billing. It hasn't been eligible to Free Tier. This December, I spent almost $11 for EC2. I've used only EC2, I checked others services already.
Note that my first created instance is Micro instance with Ubuntu 13.
Do you have any ideas what does it come from?
Make sure you use a t1.micro instance otherwise you are not eligible for the free tier. Also make sure your EBS volume is < 30GB otherwise you will be charged.
