AWS Direct Connect is a cloud service that links your network directly to AWS to deliver consistent, low-latency performance. With AWS Direct Connect, you pay only for what you use and there is no minimum fee. There are no setup charges, and you may cancel at any time. However, services provided by your AWS Direct Connect Delivery Partners or other local service provider may have other terms that apply.
Once you have linked your locations to AWS Direct Connect, you can send data between them using SiteLink. When using SiteLink, data travels over the shortest path between locations. The SiteLink feature is off by default and can be turned on or off at any time.
When connecting to resources running in any AWS Region (such as an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud or AWS Transit Gateway) or Local Zone, there are three factors that determine pricing: capacity, port hours, and data transfer out (DTO) through your AWS Direct Connect location.
Capacity is the maximum rate that data can be transferred through a network connection. The capacity of AWS Direct Connect connections are measured in megabit per second (Mbps) or gigabit per second (Gbps). One gigabit per second, or 1 Gbps, is equal to 1,000 megabits per second (1,000 Mbps).
Data transfer out (DTO) over AWS Direct Connect refers to the cumulative network traffic that is sent out of AWS through your AWS Direct Connect location. This is charged per gigabyte (GB), and unlike capacity measurements, DTO refers to the amount of data transferred, not the speed. When calculating DTO, exact pricing depends on the AWS Region or AWS Local Zone, and the AWS Direct Connect location, you are using (see tables below).
Note: AWS Direct Connect only sends data to your AWS Direct Connect location, it does not transfer data out of AWS over the internet. For information on DTO over the internet refer to the EC2 pricing page.
Except as otherwise noted, our prices are exclusive of applicable taxes and duties, including VAT and applicable sales tax. For customers with a Japanese billing address, use of the Asia Pacific (Tokyo) Region is subject to Japanese Consumption Tax. Learn more.
When sending network traffic from one AWS Direct Connect point of presence (PoP) to another, such as when you want to connect two or more data centers or branch offices, there are two factors that determine the additional cost: SiteLink hours and SiteLink data transfer.
SiteLink data transfer refers to the amount of data flowing between AWS Direct Connect locations and you pay per gigabyte (GB). SiteLink data transfer rates change depending on the source and destination of the network traffic. For example, data sent from Europe to Canada is charged at a different rate than data sent from Europe to India.
Port hour pricing for dedicated connections is consistent across all AWS Direct Connect locations globally, except in Japan. The table below lists the port hour price by dedicated connection capacity selected.
Contact an AWS Direct Connect Partner to order Hosted Connections. Hosted Connection port hour pricing is consistent across all AWS Direct Connect locations globally with the exception of Japan. The table below lists the port hour price by hosted connection capacity selected.
DTO pricing is dependent on the source AWS Region or Local Zone and AWS Direct Connect location. Choose your AWS Direct Connect location and geographic region from the Direct Connect locations page. Look up the Direct Connect geographic region from the table below to get USD per GB pricing for data transferred out from each AWS Region or Local Zone to an AWS Direct Connect location. If you are using an AWS Direct Connect gateway, you will pay applicable DTO data rates based on the AWS Region that is the source of the traffic and AWS Direct Connect location where it is connected.
You pay a fixed rate of $0.50 USD per hour for each VIF with SiteLink enabled. This is true for all locations, connection speeds, and connection types, and you pay for SiteLink hours even when no data is sent or received.
Find the rate that applies to your use case by finding the row where the source of your data is located and then determine find where it intersects with the column that represents your destination.
Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to create an estimate for your specific Direct Connect architecture needs. Using the calculator you provide specific data sources, Direct Connect locations, and usage quantities. The calculator returns detailed pricing calculations and a total estimate.
The source of your traffic is an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instance inside an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) running in the US East (Ohio) Region. This EC2 instance sends 1 terabyte of data to your network a month, through your AWS Direct Connect location, and receives 2 terabytes of data from outside AWS.
Total AWS Direct Connect charges for example #1
Based on these results, your monthly AWS Direct Connect bill amounts to $984.08 USD per month. This does not include any additional charges that may come from your AWS Direct Connect Delivery Partner or other providers.
You are in charge of the global network for an up-and-coming gaming company and you must design for maximum resiliency. As in the preceding example, your monthly AWS Direct Connect bill will be the sum of the port hour and data transfer charges generated by your workload.
Calculating monthly port hour charges for AWS Direct Connect
Taking advice from AWS Direct Connect resiliency recommendations for designing for maximum resiliency, you created two port connections at two geographically separate AWS Direct Connect locations (one in Newark, NJ and a second in Columbus, OH). You are using an AWS Direct Connect gateway so you can access any AWS Region (except AWS Regions in China) from these AWS Direct Connect locations. At each location, you are always connected to your redundant 10 Gbps dedicated ports, even when no data is being sent or received. Most importantly, you have selected your port capacity so that if any links are interrupted, the others have enough excess capacity to smoothly take on the additional load.
Your outgoing traffic comes from 10 large Amazon VPCs located in the US East (Ohio) Region that transfer 400 TB of data out of AWS through your AWS Direct Connect location. Over the same period, 1 PB of data is sent to these VPCs from outside AWS using your AWS Direct Connect connections.
Imagine that your organization has deployed AWS Direct Connect at locations in New York and Amsterdam. In addition to sending data to resources inside AWS Regions over these connections, you want to send data between them using SiteLink. The additional cost is the sum of SiteLink hours and SiteLink data transfer.
Assume that, in an average month, SiteLink is active full time on two virtual interfaces (VIF) at each location, even when data is not flowing across the connection. Two VIF are used to increase resiliency.
Even before millions were confined to their homes by a global pandemic, improvements in internet connections and service offerings had led to an exponential increase in the use of streaming video around the world. With few options left for entertainment, streaming services are taking off. In this commentary, we examine the carbon footprint of these services.
Streaming services are associated with energy use and carbon emissions from devices, network infrastructure and data centres. Yet, contrary to a slew of recent misleading media coverage, the climate impacts of streaming video remain relatively modest, particularly compared to other activities and sectors.
Drawing on our analysis and other credible sources, we expose the flawed assumptions in one widely reported estimate of the emissions from watching 30 minutes of Netflix. These exaggerate the actual climate impact by up 90 times.
The relatively low climate impact of streaming video today is thanks to rapid improvements in the energy efficiency of data centres, networks and devices. But slowing efficiency gains, rebound effects and new demands from emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain, raise increasing concerns about the overall environmental impacts of the sector over the coming decades.
Update 11/12/2020: The energy intensity figures for data centres and data transmission networks were updated to reflect more recent data and research. As a result, the central IEA estimate for one hour of streaming video in 2019 is now 36gCO2, down from 82gCO2 in the original analysis published in February 2020. The updated charts and comparisons also include the corrected values published by The Shift Project in June 2020, as well as other recent estimates quoted by the media.
Looking at electricity consumption alone, the original Shift Project figures imply that one hour of Netflix consumes 6.1 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity. This is enough to drive a Tesla Model S more than 30km, power an LED lightbulb constantly for a month, or boil a kettle once a day for nearly three months. The corrected figures imply that one hour of Netflix consumes 0.8 kWh.
With 167 million Netflix subscribers watching an average of two hours per day, the corrected Shift Project figures imply that Netflix streaming consumes around 94 terawatt hours (TWh) per year, which is 200 times larger than figures reported by Netflix (0.45TWh in 2019).
