However, data transfer charges will apply from any consumers outside the current primary instance Availability Zone. Refer to the Amazon RDS pricing page for more detail. A common pattern is to deploy workloads across multiple VPCs in your AWS network.

Why isn't there more outrage over AWS' absolutely insane outbound data transfer pricing? (0.09$ per GB)
It's pretty much the same for all three hyperscalers (AWS, Azure, GCP). All range from 6-15cent/GB with only around 100GB free. So there's no choice actually. More on reddit.com

Pricing Question: Data transfer out from EC2 *through* ELB costs?

At the bottom of the data transfer pricing section for EC2:

Data transferred "in" to and "out" of Amazon Elastic Load Balancing is priced equivalent to Amazon EC2. Data processed by Amazon Elastic Load Balancing will incur charges in addition to Amazon EC2 data transfer charges.

Why is CloudFront Transfer pricing so expensive?
Well CloudFront is a CDN, you're paying a premium for benefit of the points of presence and edge caching.. where as when you use lightsail it's like using a standard ELB (which is a 10th of the price of CF) but you have to go back to an amazon dc, there is no caching included and the latency could be much worse. The price for CF is pretty much inline with other CDNs. More on reddit.com

r/aws on Reddit: Why isn't there more outrage over AWS' absolutely insane outbound data transfer pricing? (0.09$ per GB)
October 3, 2022 -

So I had to dump some object stores off of AWS and Linode, AWS had 2.6 TB, linode had 2.0 TB, AWS cost me $312.31 not including monthly storage costs or PUT costs.

Linode cost me $9.57.

AWS provides 100 GB of transfer for free and charges $0.09 per GB transfer out overage Linode provides 1000 GB of transfer for free and charges $0.01 per GB transfer out overage

Why isn't there more outrage about the absolutely insane price of 0.09$ per GB for outbound data transfer AWS charges?

Edit: Wow, the amount of insufferable "git good, my bill is 100B$/month and I don't care" replies in this thread are ridiculous. $0.09 per GB for IP transit is like a 100x markup.
