Pricing overview

Compute Savings Plan for Amazon ECS & Amazon EKS

Additional Charges

You may incur additional charges if your containers use other AWS services or transfers data. For example, if your containers use Amazon CloudWatch Logs for application logging, you are billed for CloudWatch usage. You will also incur a charge for the public IPv4 addresses associated with your Amazon ECS Tasks or Amazon EKS Pod. Please visit the public IPv4 address section of the VPC pricing page for more details.
