In one line

Per hour for each Core Network Edge and each attachment, plus per GB of data through the network.

What gets missed

The Core Network Edge is the expensive part and you need one in every Region the network reaches. It bills by the hour on its own, before a single attachment or byte, so an empty core network is not a free one.

Find it on your bill

Filter Cost Explorer or your Cost and Usage Report by these usage types. A usage type with no region prefix means us-east-1.

Bills the same way

These services turn exactly the same meters, so what you learn here transfers.
