Since it looks like this thing is going to stay around for a
while, I purchased an AWS t3.medium reserved instance with a
term of one year so we aren't paying hourly rates to run it.
This will result in a savings of 33% compared to on-demand
rates. Reserved instance details are:
Instance Id: 6450c890-23c8-46fb-aba3-8989e9ee2e05
Type: t3.medium

Upfront Price: $247.00

After a few minutes, the instance went from "payment pending" to
"active".
