AWS DataSync Pricing

AWS DataSync has simple, predictable, usage-based pricing. With DataSync, you pay only for the amount of data that you copy. Your costs are based on a flat per-gigabyte fee for the use of network acceleration technology, managed cloud infrastructure, data validation, and automation capabilities in DataSync. There are no resources to manage, no upfront costs, and no minimum fee.

Additional charges

You are charged standard request and data transfer rates to read to and write and from your data stores, such as Amazon S3 and Amazon EFS. When copying data from an AWS storage service to an on-premises storage system, you pay for AWS data transfer at your standard rate. You are also charged standard rates for Amazon CloudWatch Logs and Amazon CloudWatch Events.

Pricing examples

Example 1: A one-time migration
If you perform a one-time 50 TB data migration to Amazon EFS, it costs you the following to use DataSync:

50 TB * 1024 GB * $0.04/GB = $2,048

Example 2: Regular data transfers for a content archive and data distribution workflow

Suppose that you perform a daily 10 TB transfer into Amazon S3 from one site, plus a daily transfer of data out of Amazon S3 to a second site. Your costs look like this for 31 days:

[(10 TB copied into US East Ohio * 1024 GB * $0.04/GB) + (1 TB copied out *1024 GB * $0.04/GB) + (1 TB AWS Data Transfer out * 1024 GB * $0.09/GB)] * 31 days
= [($409.60) + ($40.96) + ($92.16)] * 31
=$16,824.32

Example 3: File system replication for business continuity, with incrementals Suppose that you have a regular data replication job that copies a 10 TB file system into Amazon S3 once, and then replicates another 1 TB per day of changed data. Your costs for DataSync look like this for the initial copy and the 31 following days of normal usage:

10 TB * 1024 GB * $0.04/GB = $409.60 for the initial transfer

+ 1 TB * 1024 GB * $0.04/GB * 31 days for the incremental transfers

= $1,269.76 per month on an ongoing basis.
