## Hidden costs and limits

- Data transfer out: First 100GB/month is free, then $0.09/GB.
- Cross-AZ data transfer: $0.01/GB in each direction between availability zones. Multi-AZ RDS, ECS tasks spread across AZs, and ALB routing all generate cross-AZ traffic.
- EBS storage is not cheap at scale: gp3 volumes cost $0.08/GB/month.
- CloudWatch logging costs: Log ingestion costs $0.50/GB.
- Support plan costs: Basic support is free but only covers billing.
- Free tier expiration trap: EC2 (750hrs t3.micro), RDS (750hrs db.t3.micro), and S3 (5GB) free tiers expire after 12 months. Many startups budget assuming free tier and get surprised by a 3-10x cost jump at month 13. Lambda and DynamoDB free tiers are permanent.
