Save Money With Combined AWS Bandwidth Pricing

I never tire of telling our customers that they’ll be saving money by using AWS!

Effective April 1, 2010, we’ll add up the bandwidth you use for HAQM Simple Storage Service (HAQM S3), HAQM Elastic Compute Cloud (HAQM EC2), HAQM SimpleDB, HAQM Relational Database Service (HAQM RDS), and the HAQM Simple Queue Service (SQS) on  a Region-by-Region basis and use that value to set your bandwidth tier for each Region. Depending on your bandwidth usage, this could mean your overall bandwidth charge will be reduced, since you will be able to reach higher volume tiers more quickly if you use multiple services.

We’re also going to make the first gigabyte of outbound data transfer each month free.

You’ll see both of these benefits in a new entry on your AWS Account Activity page. We’ll combine the bandwidth used by the services listed above.

Sound good?
