Data Transfer Costs

Data Transfer Costs

Definition

Data transfer costs are fees cloud providers charge for moving data between services, regions, or to the internet (egress). Intra-region transfers between the same availability zone are typically free, cross-AZ transfers incur a small fee, and internet egress is charged per GB transferred.

Egress costs are a significant and often underestimated component of cloud bills for data-intensive workloads.
