One thing I wanted to point out was that the data transfer pricing has not technically been reduced, it has been introduced. Previously, data flowing from one region to another would have been charged standard data transfer pricing over the public internet.
Now, they have started to distinguish data transfers between EC2 instances to out-of-AWS resources and EC2 instances on different regions.
The price for the data transfer over the internet has not been reduced, it has been decoupled from data transfers over the internet to a different AWS region.

I just thought that was interesting. The new prices are coming into PlanForCloud within the next few hours so users can see how this price change will affect their cost forecasts.

Thanks,
Hassan
