Amazon Web Services: cheaper again

Hello!

So, after many news of the fall in prices last year, Amazon Web Services has been costing less since February 2013, namely:

• EC2
• Traffic

Also, I hasten to note that since February the second generation of standard instances is already available in the world.

And now more about lower prices.

EC2

The price reduction applies to On-Demand Linux instances around the world. The following instance families are cheaper:

• M1 (First Generation Standard)
• M2 (High Memory)
• M3 (Second Generation Standard)
• C1 (High-CPU)

Summary table of the percentage reduction:

	Savings (%)
Region	M1	M2	M3	C1 Medium	C1 Extra Large
US East (Northern Virginia)	7.7%	8.9%	13.8%	12.1%	12.1%
US West (Northern California)	27.7%	9.1%	-	11.3%	11.3%
US West (Oregon)	7.7%	8.9%	-	12.1%	12.1%
AWS GovCloud (US)	22.3%	9.3%	-	9.8%	9.8%
Europe (Ireland)	23.5%	9.1%	-	11.3%	11.3%
Asia Pacific (Singapore)	5.9%	2.2%	-	1.6%	1.9%
Asia Pacific (Tokyo)	4.3%	2.5%	-	2.6%	2.6%
Asia Pacific (Sydney)	5.9%	2.2%	-	1.6%	1.9%
South America (São Paulo)	30.4%	20.6%	-	13.0%	13.0%

Not bad, right? It is a little less than the usual percentage, but the fact that almost all types have fallen in price is very good.

Traffic

Well here AWS did their best. I did not expect such a fall in traffic between AWS regions from them this year. Honestly, this is manna from heaven:

Region	Old Price / GB	New Price / GB	Savings
US East (Northern Virginia)	$ 0.120	$ 0.020	83%
US West (Northern California)	$ 0.120	$ 0.020	83%
US West (Oregon)	$ 0.120	$ 0.020	83%
AWS GovCloud (US)	$ 0.155	$ 0.030	81%
Europe (Ireland)	$ 0.120	$ 0.020	83%
Asia Pacific (Singapore)	$ 0.190	$ 0.090	53%
Asia Pacific (Tokyo)	$ 0.200	$ 0.090	55%
Asia Pacific (Sydney)	$ 0.190	$ 0.140	26%
South America (São Paulo)	$ 0.250	$ 0.160	36%

As many as 83% in the States and Europe! This is just incredible!

Thanks, AWS !
