Cost

You are responsible for the cost of the AWS services used while running this solution, which can vary based on whether you are transferring Amazon S3 objects or Amazon ECR images.

The solution automatically deploys an additional Amazon CloudFront Distribution and an Amazon S3 bucket for storing the static website assets in your account. You are responsible for the incurred variable charges from these services. For full details, refer to the pricing webpage for each AWS service you will be using in this solution.

The following examples demonstrate how to estimate the cost. Two example estimates are for transferring Amazon S3 objects, and one is for transferring ECR images.

Cost of an Amazon S3 transfer task

For an Amazon S3 transfer task, the cost can vary based on the total number of files and the average file size.

Example 1

Transfer 1 TB of S3 files from AWS Oregon Region (us-west-2) to AWS Beijing Region (cn-north-1), the average file size is 50MB.

  • Total files: ~20,480
  • Average speed per EC2 instance: ~1GB/min
  • Total EC2 instance hours: ~17 hours

As of this revision, the cost of using the solution to complete the transfer task is shown in the following table:

AWS service Dimensions Total Cost
Amazon EC2 $0.0084 per hour (t4g.micro) $0.14
Amazon S3 ~ 12 GET requests + 10 PUT requests per file
GET: $0.0004 per 1000 request
PUT: $0.005 per 1000 request
$1.12
Amazon DynamoDB ~2 write requests per file
$1.25 per million write
$0.05
Amazon SQS ~2 request per file
$0.40 per million request
$0.01
Data Transfer Out 0.09 per GB $92.16
Others (For example, CloudWatch, Secrets Manager, etc.) $1
TOTAL $94.48

Example 2

Transfer 1 TB of S3 files from AWS Oregon region (us-west-2) to China Beijing Region (cn-north-1), the average file size is 10KB.

  • Total files: ~107,400,000
  • Average speed per EC2 instance: ~6MB/min (~10 files per sec)
  • Total EC2 instance hours: ~3000 hours

As of this revision, the cost of using the solution to complete the transfer task is shown in the following table:

AWS service Dimensions Total Cost
Amazon EC2 $0.0084 per hour (t4g.micro) $25.20
Amazon S3 ~ 2 GET requests + 1 PUT request per file
GET: $0.0004 per 1000 request
PUT: $0.005 per 1000 request
$622.34
Amazon DynamoDB ~2 write requests per file
$1.25 per million write
$268.25
Amazon SQS ~2 requests per file
$0.40 per million request
$85.92
Data Transfer Out 0.09 per GB $92.16
Others (For example, CloudWatch, Secrets Manager, etc.) $20
TOTAL $1113.87

Cost of an Amazon ECR transfer task

For an Amazon ECR transfer task, the cost can vary based on network speed and total size of ECR images.

Example 3

Transfer 27 Amazon ECR images (~3 GB in total size) from AWS Ireland Region (eu-west-1) to AWS Beijing Region (cn-north-1). The total runtime is about 6 minutes.

As of this revision, the cost of using the solution to complete the transfer task is shown in the following table:

AWS service Dimensions Total Cost
AWS Lambda $0.0000004 per 100ms $0.000072
(35221.95 ms)
AWS Step Functions $0.000025 per State Transition
(~ 60 state transitions per run in this case)
$0.0015
Fargate $0.04048 per vCPU per hour
$0.004445 per GB per hour
(0.5 vCPU 1GB Memory)
$0.015
(~ 2200s)
Data Transfer Out 0.09 per GB $0.27
Others (For example, CloudWatch, Secrets Manager, etc.) $0
TOTAL $0.287
