Answer 2

AWS CloudTrail allows you to view and download the last 90 days of your account activity for create, modify, and delete operations of supported services free of charge.

There is no charge from AWS CloudTrail for creating a CloudTrail trail and the first copy of management events within each region is delivered to the S3 bucket specified in your trail free of charge. Once a CloudTrail trail is setup, Amazon S3 charges apply based on your usage. You will be charged for any data events or additional copies of management events recorded in that region, per the published pricing plan. For example, if you create a multi-region trail and a single-region trail within the same region, you will be charged for a copy of management events recorded in that region.

Question 3

If I have only one trail with management Events, and apply it to all regions, will I incur charges?
