Our dev instances all live on AWS. We don't keep them up 24/7 - instead, we save about £2k/mo by running them only from 08:00-18:00 UTC. (Probably we'll move that an hour in summer.) At six o'clock, your dev instance goes off. This saves me shouting "GO HOME!" a lot ...

That's a fantastic way or working, more companies should do it!
