About this listen

In this episode, we explore one of the often-overlooked aspects of AWS pricing: data transfer costs. AWS charges for data transferred between different AWS services, regions, and out to the internet, and these costs can quickly add up if not carefully managed. We’ll walk you through the different types of data transfer costs, including data transfer between EC2 instances and S3 buckets, data transfer across Availability Zones (AZs) or Regions, and data transfer out to the internet. Understanding these pricing nuances is crucial for managing your AWS bills effectively.

We’ll also discuss best practices for minimizing data transfer costs, such as using services like CloudFront to cache content closer to end-users, leveraging S3 Transfer Acceleration for faster data upload speeds, and choosing the right region for your data storage and processing. By the end of this episode, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge to optimize your data transfer costs, ensuring that you’re not caught off guard by hidden charges in your AWS bill.
