We are also reducing the price of Glacier storage in most AWS Regions. Here are the new prices for Standard Storage: RegionsĪs you can see from the table above, we are also simplifying the pricing model by consolidating six pricing tiers into three new tiers. The bill for your December usage will automatically reflect the new, lower prices.

We are reducing the per-GB price for S3 Standard Storage in most AWS regions, effective December 1, 2016. We are also introducing additional retrieval options for Glacier.Īs long-time AWS customers already know, we work relentlessly to reduce our own costs, and to pass the resulting savings along in the form of a steady stream of AWS Price Reductions. Today I have two big pieces of news for you: we are reducing the prices for S3 Standard Storage and for Glacier storage. Over the intervening decade, we reduced the price per GB by 80%, launched S3 in every AWS Region, and enhanced the original one-size-fits-all model with user-driven features such as web site hosting, VPC integration, and IPv6 support, while adding new storage options including S3 Infrequent Access.īecause many AWS customers archive important data for legal, compliance, or other reasons and reference it only infrequently, we launched Glacier in 2012, and then gave you the ability to transition data between S3, S3 Infrequent Access, and Glacier by using lifecycle rules.


Back in 2006, we launched S3 with a revolutionary pay-as-you-go pricing model, with an initial price of 15 cents per GB per month.
