AWS Interconnect

In one line

Per hour for each interconnect, priced by bandwidth and a distance tier. Data transfer is not metered.

What gets missed

Billing starts when you create the interconnect and stops only when you delete it, so an idle link costs what a saturated one does. The tier follows the longest path it serves, and the other cloud bills its own side.

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.
