AWS may also incur storage costs and data transfer costs. CNF will also rebill these costs. We do not expect normal disk usage to exceed $5/month. Data transfer costs from AWS to Cornell run $0.02 / GB. Data transfers to areas outside the Cornell network will be more expensive. There is no charge for data transfers from Cornell to AWS. As of 2024, AWS now charges for public IP addresses.
