#10282: Free tier for Amazon EC2 exceeded because of outdated instructions on
Torcloud setup page

-------------------------+---------------------
 According to the instructions at https://cloud.torproject.org/#get_started
 there is no change necessary in the size of the storage used for the Tor
 cloud instance. If following the current instructions, Amazon creates an
 EC2 instance with 1 TBit storage which by far exceeds the maximum free
 tier storage. The default 1 TBit storage is billed at 36 USD per month,
 even though the torcloud instance only requires 615 MB according to the
 current (outdated) screenshots on the Tor cloud setup page.

 I suggest someone updates the screenshots to make clear what the correct
 storage volume size of the tor cloud instance should be in order to remain
 within the free tier.
