Unless things have changed I'm not sure it's accurate that you only get charged for external traffic on AWS: I recall having pretty substantial charges internal to AWS just for traffic between different AZs in the same region, for example.
- api 5y agoYes they all do this. I’ve speculated it’s to herd people away from running their own consensus databases and toward their managed services.
- electroly 5y agoI think the parent is talking specifically about S3 rather than all of AWS -- S3 is a regional service and you can access it from any AZ within that region without additional fees. Cross-AZ charges are more commonly an issue with things like load balancers and EC2 instances.
- manquer 5y agoCross Region is common use case which makes S3 access from another region or if you are migrating painfully expensive when Compute is in multiple regions . Cross Region replication is typical setup for many DR use cases and S3 will charge you Inter-region transfer cost for replication as well.
