I am not sure what you are talking about. We have many millions of yearly AWS cost and it is both predictable and understandable down to the last cent. One additional thing, I am not sure it occurred to you but some infrastructures operate on AWS are not sending any significant traffic outwards. S3 is used as a cheap and reliable data warehouse storage layer for exabytes of data just fine.
- brodouevencode 6y agoCame here to say exactly this. There's a level of complexity and nuance in AWS that casual users or those on the outside do not quite comprehend. And honestly it takes quite of bit of experience and interaction to fully understand some of these things. It's not that you're getting charged "twice" for S3, it's that there are separately line items in the CUR for S3 data transfer, S3 storage (and S3 API, S3 inventory, etc.). It's confusing to a layperson but this level of detail is actually quite powerful. You can tune your application to use just what's needed.
