What are the prices for AWS resources? How do I calculate them?
💰 Cost & Billing
Costs are determined by size and usage, following Amazon AWS guidelines.
All charges are straight pass-through costs; there is no additional ITS premium.
For commercial software licenses, expect varied pricing based on hardware. (e.g., RDS MySQL vs MS SQL Server).
