AWS Data Transfer Terminal

  • Bytesnot billed
  • Unitsnot billed

In one line

Per port-hour of a reserved slot at a physical AWS upload location; the data volume is not metered.

What gets missed

You book time, not bytes. Two ports for an hour bills two port-hours, and the rate climbs when the terminal and the destination Region are on different continents.

Bills the same way

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