Why each option
AWS typically offers free inbound data transfer from the internet to its services, while most other data transfer types incur charges.
Inbound data transfer from the internet to AWS services, also known as data ingress, is generally free of charge across most AWS regions and services. This policy encourages customers to bring their data into the AWS Cloud without incurring upload costs.
Outbound data transfer from AWS to the internet (egress) is generally metered and charged based on the volume of data transferred.
Data transfer between different AWS Regions across the AWS global network is typically charged, as it consumes AWS's inter-regional networking resources.
Data transfer between Availability Zones within the same AWS Region is also typically charged, although often at a lower rate than inter-region transfers, because it crosses network boundaries.
