It could be a loss-leader to get high-volume S3 customers using EC2 for the free transfer.

It could be a loss-leader to get high-volume S3 customers using EC2 for the free transfer.
- cperciva 16y agofor the free transfer Just in case I'm not the only person who was confused by this at first: stellar678 is referring to the free bandwidth between EC2 and S3, not the free AWS upload bandwidth (which no longer exists). Marginally related trivia: Thanks to said free EC2-S3 bandwidth, if you want to move more than 1 MB between EC2 nodes in different availability zones, it's cheaper to PUT the data to S3 from one node and then GET and DELETE it from the other node than it is to transfer it directly.
