On: AWS Snowcone

It looks like you can keep the Snowcone. One of the screenshots offers this option:

> "Perform local compute and storage workloads, without transferring data. You can order multiple devices in a cluster for increased durability and storage capacity."

At $6/day it's fairly expensive for non-temporary workloads.

They have a pricing example for this use case which includes the following caveat:

> First, you should contact AWS Sales to discuss private pricing for the long-term AWS Snowcone deployment

Or you could pay the $2,000 lost device fee.

I'm guessing the devices marked as lost don't continue to function (at least not once they connect to the internet again)
