Calculate the following Random Service Costs Calculator Exercise

Welcome, AWS Cloud Practitioners!

In this lesson, you will complete a comprehensive exercise designed to evaluate and compare the costs associated with various AWS services. This practical scenario focuses on cost analysis across different regions and configurations, providing a well-rounded understanding of AWS pricing.

Exercise Overview

1. Amazon S3 Buckets

   • Configure a basic S3 bucket with one petabyte of data.
   • Create a second S3 bucket in a different region—specifically in Ohio and California—to compare regional pricing differences.

2. Kubernetes Clusters on AWS

   • Set up a Kubernetes cluster on EKS.
   • Configure a similar cluster on ECS.
   • For both EKS and ECS, implement clusters using both the EC2 launch type and Fargate.

   Tip

   Ensure that all clusters are set up identically to perform an accurate price comparison between the different configurations.

3. AWS Security and Monitoring Services

   • Set up GuardDuty, AWS Config, and CloudTrail.
   • Evaluate the pricing of these core security and notification services to understand their cost implications.

Next Steps

Now that you have completed the exercise, you're encouraged to experiment further with the AWS Pricing Calculator. Explore various configuration changes and regional differences to deepen your understanding of AWS pricing strategies.
