Amazon FSx for Windows File Server pricing

The price of storage capacity depends on the deployment type (single-AZ or multi-AZ) and the storage type (SSD or HDD) that you choose for your file system.

You pay for the average amount of storage provisioned for your file systems per month, measured in gigabyte-months ‘GB-Months’, as shown in the pricing example.

By default, three IOPS are included for every GB of SSD storage. You can optionally provision a higher level of IOPS, and you pay for the average IOPS provisioned above your included rate for the month, measured in ‘IOPS-months’.

The price of throughput capacity depends on the deployment type (single-AZ or multi-AZ) that you choose for your file system.

You pay for the average throughput capacity that you’ve provisioned for your file systems per month, measured in ‘MBps-months’. For multi-AZ file systems, the cost to transfer data between AZs for replication of data is included in the throughput capacity price.

Back-ups – both automatic and user-initiated – incur back-up storage charges. Back-ups are incremental, which means that only the changes after your most recent back-up are saved, so you save on storage costs by not duplicating data. You pay for the average amount of back-up storage per month, measured in ‘GB-months’.

Data transferred ‘in’ to and ‘out’ from Amazon FSx across AZs or VPC peering connections in the same region is charged at the rate for data transfer within the same region. Note that data transfer incurred for replication of data across AZs for multi-AZ file systems is included in the throughput capacity price.

Data transferred ‘out’ from Amazon FSx to another region (including for copying back-ups across regions) is charged at the inter-region rate for the specific inter-region transfer.
