What is the cost of upload/download to/from S3 or Glacier Deep Archive by using boto3?

397 views Asked by At

I would like to know about the cost when we upload/download to/from S3 or Glacier. I want to make a Python script with boto3 library that downloads file from S3 and then groups chunks of files and zip them and send them to Glacier. Now, I would like to know is there a cost with those operations and would that way be cheaper than the standard way of sending files from S3 to Glacier. I tried to find the price, but failed.

The cheapest would be to use ec2 instance in the same region as your S3 and glacier region. This is because:

Transfers between S3 buckets or from Amazon S3 to any service(s) within the same AWS Region are free. You also pay a fee for any data transferred using Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration.
