Have you considered the cost ramifications of this approach? Depending on how chatty your services are the bandwidth costs alone could bankrupt you.

There's no need for a ramification. We applied these principles in a big company set up with over a hundred accounts. Bandwidth cost in particular is not an issue. Cost control on the cloud in general is, that's a constant battle, security is another one 😄 Besides that, chatty traffic is an attention point and should always be taken into consideration. There are definitely cases in which you want to isolate traffic into a single account.
