Pricing Example
In this pricing example, you enable 15 Amazon S3 buckets containing a total of 100 GB of data. After the initial classification, 6GB of new data is added to the S3 buckets every month for a total of 18GB of new data for a total amount of 118GB of classified data.
You generate 1,000,000 CloudTrail Management events and 1,100,000 CloudTrail S3 object-level API events per month for a total of 2,100,000 events per month. You also choose to extend the metadata retention for 90 days. Your charges are calculated as follows:
| Classified S3 Content | 106 GB | 6 GB | 6 GB |
| Charge for Classifying S3 Content | 1 x $0/First GB = $0 105 x $5/GB = $525 |
1 x $0/First GB = $0 5 x $5/GB = $25 |
1 x $0/First GB = $0 5 x $5/GB = $25 |
| Processed CloudTrail Events | 2.1 Million Events | 2.1 Million Events | 2.1 Million Events |
| Charge for Processing CloudTrail Events | 100k x $0/First 100k Events = $0 2M x $4/1M Events = $8 |
100k x $0/First 100k Events = $0 2M x $4/1M Events = $8 |
100k x $0/First 100k Events = $0 2M x $4/1M Events = $8 |
| Extended Data Retention | 90 Days | 90 Days | 90 Days |
| Charge for Extended Data Retention | Free | 106 x $0.05/GB = $5.30 | (106 + 6) x $0.05/GB = $5.60 |
| Total Charges | $525 + $8 = $533 | $25 + $8 + $5.30 = $38.30 | $25 + $8 + $5.60 = $38.60 |
