Costs
What is the cost of the the Cornell standard AWS configuration?
The cost of Standard AWS Account Configurations can be broken into two parts:
- Basic auditing configurations (i.e., CloudTrail, AWS Config)
- This costs in the ballpark of about $10/month, even if you aren't actively using the AWS account.
- Cornell standard VPC and it's associated NAT gateway
- This costs in the ballpark of about $40/month, even if you aren't actively using the AWS account. A big part of that is the NAT gateway which costs about $1/day.
- You will see this baseline cost only if the Cloud Team has configured a Cornell Standard VPC. AWS accounts used for research generally don't have a Cornell Standard VPC configured.
