AWS Pricing concepts
Pay for what you use
You pay for exactly the amount of resources you use, without requiring long-term contracts or complex licensing
Pay less when you reserve
Provide significant discounts if you have a service that runs all the time
Volume-based discounts when you use more
Tiered pricing per unit cost is incrementally lower with increased usage
Ex: the more S3 storage space you use, the less you pay per GB
