What happens when I run out of resources on EC2 or GAE?
I`ve recently read [this article][1] about user loosing data on EC2 when dealing with low resources on EC2. This made me wonder if there is any documentation of what will happen to apps running on EC2 or GAE when they run out of resources? Do they terminate, are frozen until the next cycle or some payment going through, or perhaps something else? How can one mitigate the risks associated with the services running out of resources (asides obviously paying more)?
