- Bandwidth charges for traffic from VPCs to campus using the Direct Connect is charged at $0.02/GB.
- This cost is born by each Cornell AWS account using Direct Connect in the v1 architecture. This cost will no longer be present using the v2 architecture.
- Bandwidth charges from traffic TO VPCs from campus is free.
V2 Architecture
These charges are new to Cornell AWS customers using Direct Connectinvolved in the v2 architecture:
- Every VPC connected to the Transit Gateway will be is charged $0.05/hr by AWS. These charges will appear in customer AWS account invoices, but the charges will be paid for by CIT since a Cost Center tag on the TGW attachment automatically will automatically direct those charges to a CIT KFS account.
- Bandwidth charges for traffic from the VPC to the TGW is $0.02/GB. . This cost is born by the customer and the magnitude of the charge will be similar to the Direct Connect egress charges born by the customer in the v1 architecture.
- Bandwidth for traffic from the TGW to the VPC is free.
