While the number and types of services offered by AWS has increased dramatically, our philosophy on pricing has not changed: at the end of each month, you pay only for what you use, and you can start or stop using a product at any time. No long-term contracts are required. Pricing information for each service on our website is available at http://aws.amazon.com/pricing/. Our strategy of pricing each service independently gives you tremendous flexibility to choose the services you need for each project and to pay only for what you use. This webinar will help you understand how to effectively estimate the costs of running your specific project on AWS. We provide several examples that leverage the AWS Simple Monthly Calculator. For each example, this paper discusses its architecture, example usage of each service, cost breakdown for each service, and the total estimated monthly charge.

- 2. AWS Pricing Philosophy Pay as you go • No minimum commitments or long-term contracts required • Capex -> Opex • Turn off when you don’t need it Pay less per unit when you use more • Tiered Pricing and Volume Discounts Pay even less when you reserve • Reserved pricing Pay even less as AWS grows • Efficiencies, optimizations and economies of scale result in passing the savings back to you in the form of lower pricing Custom Pricing

AWS Free Usage Tier Free Services Data Transfer New Customers Amazon EC2 (Linux & Windows) Amazon ELB AWS Elastic Beanstalk No Charge for Inbound Amazon S3 AWS CloudFormation Data Transfer Amazon EBS AWS IAM Auto Scaling No Charge for Data For all customers Consolidated Billing Transfer Between Services within a region Amazon SQS/SNS Amazon DynamoDB Amazon SES Amazon SWF And more…
- 4. 19 price cuts in last 5 years “It makes me look so good in front of my CFO. When he [CFO] sees the savings in our AWS monthly bill, he thinks that it is me who is working hard on driving the costs down and increasing efficiency of the company’s infrastructure. I get all the credit for all the hard work you guys are putting in.”. Massive economies of scale and efficiency improvements allow us to continually lower prices.

Amazon S3 Amazon CloudFront Storage Class Traffic Distribution • Standard Storage vs. Reduced • Data transfer and request pricing Redundancy Storage (RRS) vary across geographic regions Storage • Pricing is based on the edge • Number and size of objects stored in location where content is served your Amazon S3 buckets Requests Requests • The number and type of requests • Number and type of requests (GET vs (HTTP or HTTPS) made PUT/COPY) • Geographic region in which the Data transfer requests are made. • Amount of data transferred out of Data Transfer Out the Amazon S3 region. • Amount of data transferred out of your Amazon CloudFront edge locations.

Editor's Notes
- While the number and types of services offered by AWS has increased dramatically, our philosophy on pricing has not changed: at the end of each month, you pay only for what you use, and you can start or stop using a product at any time. No long-term contracts are required Pay as you go. No required minimum commitments, no longterm contracts. This flexibility minimizes the need for detailed resource planning. Pay per use. Pay only for what you use. With AWS, there’s no need to pay up-front for excess capacity or get penalized for under-planning. For compute resources, you pay on an hourly basis from the time you launch a resource until the time you terminate it. For data storage and transfer, you pay on a per gigabyte basis. We charge based on the underlying infrastructure and services you consume. Pay less by using more. For storage and data transfer, pricing is tiered. The more you use, the less you pay per gigabyte. Pay even less when you reserve. For certain products, you can invest in reserved capacity. In that case, you pay a one-time low upfront fee, and your on-demand rate is reduced by 28% to 58%. Custom pricing. What if none of our pricing models work for your project? Custom pricing is available for high volume projects with unique requirements.
