New Delhi: AWS has announced free egress traffic for customers who are leaving the cloud and removing their databases from the AWS infrastructure. This initiative has come up after the guidelines released by European Data Act to help customers easily switch to their alternative cloud provider.
AWS previously provided 100 GB per month free egress from AWS regions to the internet. Any data apart from this allocation comes with the charges incurred. With its recent announcement, customers can request free DTO (Data Transfer Object) for more data. Once AWS approves it, temporary credits will be provided to customers based on the stored data.
Sébastien Stormacq, principal developer advocate, AWS, said, “It’s necessary to go through support because you make hundreds of millions of data transfers each day, and we generally do not know if the data transferred out to the internet is a normal part of your business or a one-time transfer as part of a switch to another cloud provider or on-premises.”
Many other service providers like Google and Microsoft are also providing free DTO to their customers when they are leaving Azure.
Credits apply to DTO charges that comes data away from the cloud. However, customers do not need to migrate all their workloads to qualify for this purpose. Moreover, this waived fee is not applicable for data out of services like CloudFront, Snow Family, Global Accelerator, etc.
To help its customers on Egress waived fees, AWS has also published a separate FAQ page.
