AWS offers a Data Egress Waiver that mostly eliminates Data Transfer charges for Cornell. See the AWS blog post about it for more details.
Is Egress from all AWS offerings covered by the waiver?
As of February 2018, most services that advertise the $0.09/GB data egress fee on the pricing page are covered. Feel free to check with the Cloud Team if you aren't sure about a particular service.
A notable exception is currently CloudFront egress, which is not covered by the waiver. CloudFront egress shows as a separate line-item and is billed at a (slightly) cheaper rate than normal data egress. AWS is currently looking into adding CloudFront egress to the waiver. Any campus customers who currently or plan to generate significant CloudFront egress charges should forward their use-case to the Cloud Team for a consult with our AWS Representatives.
According to AWS, their service offerings that use CloudFront under the covers, API Gateway for example, are covered by the egress waiver and a separate consult is not needed.
How much are Data Transfer Charges for Cornell? Are we close to the 15% cap for the AWS Data Egress Waiver?
