1. How does AWS pricing works?

2. An Introduction
Figuring out AWS pricing can seems to be just as complicated as configuring your network or designing your application. The AWS Live class software development follows the different approach and the tricky part is to know which service is using which pricing models.

3. AWS pricing in a nutshell
AWS reduces your infrastructure costs by allowing you to pay only for what you use at the end of each month. This means you don’t have to sign a contract—you can stop using the services at any time without a penalty. Detailed pricing information for each service can be found on the AWS pricing page.

4. Pricing models
AWS offers two main pricing models, Compute Resources and Data Storage and Transfer. However, there are also other pricing models, such as request pricing, monthly targeted audience (MTA) pricing, events collected pricing, messages sent pricing, and more.

5. 1. Compute resources
When you use compute resources, you pay on an hourly basis from the time you launch a resource until the time you terminate it. You can also get volume discounts up to 10% when you reserve more. The following services fall under the compute resources pricing model:
AWS Lambda
Amazon Lightsail
Elastic Load Balancing

6. 2. Data storage and transfer
When you use data storage and transfer resources, you pay on a per-gigabyte basis. This pricing model is also known as tiered. This means that several different aspects of the service differ in cost. The following services fall under the data storage and transfer pricing model:
AWS Snowball
Amazon Glacier
AWS Snowmobile
AWS Snowball Edge

7. Free Tier
Did someone say free? Amazon offers a generous free tier if you’re unsure as to whether or not AWS is right for you. The AWS free tier includes services with a free tier available for 12 months after your AWS sign-up date, as well as additional service offers that do not expire at the end of your term. The free tier is a great way to try out new services, take advantage of some free hosting, and most importantly, get hands-on experience with the AWS cloud.

8. Are there ways to save more money?
For certain products, you can invest in reserved capacity and get a significantly discounted hourly rate. This results in overall savings of up to 60% (depending on the type of instance you reserve) over equivalent to on-demand capacity. Amazon is constantly improving their operational efficiencies, lowering power consumption, and generally lowering the cost of doing business. These optimizations and Amazon’s growing economies of scale result in lower pricing for users.

9. Do you get other services for no additional charges?
AWS also offers a variety of services for no additional charge:
AWS Elastic Beanstalk is an even easier way for you to quickly deploy and manage applications in the AWS cloud.
AWS Cloud Formation gives developers and system administrators an easy way to create a collection of related AWS resources and provision them in an orderly and predictable fashion.

10. Conclusion
AWS pricing can be intimidating to beginners since not every service works the same way. However, a little research goes a long way. Once you get the hang of which services use which pricing models, you can start to optimize your infrastructure costs and get the most out of the Amazon Web Services platform.
