Things you should be able to do in AWS
  • Cloud watch should have alerts for the total number of instances running in an Autoscaling group Available when you enable "group metrics"
  • You should be able to get an SNS alert when an ec2 instance is terminated, and the reason (price for spot requests, ASG, etc)
  • Spot instance requests have a frustrating filter interface. There isn't reasonable faceting like there is in the instances console.
  • It should be possible to edit launch configurations
  • It should be possible to view the per-hour price of an on-demand, reserved, or scheduled instance you launch in the reservation

It seems that one can get notifications if something happens in an autoscaling group. One might make the argument that all instances should be in autoscaling groups, since an instance can be added ad-hoc to an autoscaling group, and it is not necessary to define any specific actions around them.
