$0.010 per GB - regional data transfer - in/out/between EC2 AZs or using elastic IPs or ELB

at flag

In my current AWS account, I have only one instance in Us-West -2. I do not have a ELB. The Elastic IP is in the same region. It does not specify any availability zone. but wrt RDS, this instance is connected to in a different availability zone of the same region and it also access few S3 buckets created in other region.. Is it why I am getting charged? any thoughts on this will be appreciated.

Any inter-AZ traffic like EC2 in AZ-A to RDS in AZ-B will incur inter-AZ traffic charges. I suggest you move your resources into one AZ to eliminate those charges. One fairly easy way to do this is to snapshot the EC2 / RDS and create a new one based on the image. If you need instructions search for "Move AWS EC2 instance to another availability zone" or similar.

S3 access isn't inter-AZ, it's either via the internet gateway or the VPC endpoint. Make sure you provision an S3 gateway endpoint (not interface endpoint) in your VPC that way S3 traffic is free.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
