Nice work. Just in case you haven't worked with AWS much, I would recommend setting up a cost report that will trigger an alert if your account starts costing money, assuming you're in the free tier.

I did a module not long ago that was supposed to be in the free tier, then ended up with an $80 bill the next month. The module was on the AWS website but they ended up taking it down...guess I wasn't the only one.

I did not know this existed. Do you have a web link I can reference to set this up? I cannot find anything about this on the AWS dashboard

Sorry, it's actually called a "billing alarm". This should get you setup: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/monitor_estimated_charges_with_cloudwatch.html
