Their is a common misconception that AWS Egress cost to internet is expensive( and it is) but did you know cross-region is not cheap either
I have based this calculation based on AWS Sydney region as base region (Aug 29th 2023)
via the cost calculator - for data transfer charges https://calculator.aws/#/estimate
| Region | Transfer to | Data Amount | Cost Estimate per Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| AWS Sydney region | Internet | First 100 GB | FREE |
| AWS Sydney region | Internet | 1 TB | 132 USD |
| AWS Sydney region | AWS Melbourne Region | 1 TB | 102 USD |
| AWS Sydney region | Other Region | 1 TB | 120.83 USD |
| AWS Sydney region | CloudFront | 1 TB | Free |
How about Ingress Cost - Ingress transfer cost is FREE (aws wants your data in)
